    "content": "Fund. Guidelines of Statutory Instruments within the meaning of Section 2 of the Statutory Instruments Act and if made by the Registrar must be submitted to the National Assembly to be considered by the Committee. This was in contravention of Section 13(m) of the Statutory Instruments Act, which requires the Committee, during scrutiny, to check whether the Regulations inappropriately delegate legislative powers. Having examined the Political Parties (Funding) Regulations, 2019 against the Constitution of Kenya, the Interpretations and General Provisions Act (Cap 2) of the Laws of Kenya, the Political Parties Act, 2011, and Statutory Instruments Act No.23 of 2013 and pursuant to Standing Order 210(4)(b) and Section 15(1) of the Statutory Instruments Act, the Committee does not accede to a batch of the Political Parties (Funding) Regulation, 2019 and recommends that the House annuls Regulation 18 of the Political Parties (Funding) Regulation 2019, as it inappropriately delegates legislative powers to the Registrar of Political Parties to set general guidelines, conditions and requirements for the management of the Fund contrary to Section 13(m) of the Statutory Instruments Act. As I conclude, I shall never tire to acknowledge the tireless efforts of the Members of the Committee on Delegated Legislation for their exceptional commitment to great work, ethics and spirit of excellence to service in ensuring that the Committee delivers on its mandate. As we have always said, we are truly honoured and humbled to be servants of the people of Kenya. I beg to move and request Hon. Robert Mbui, Member for Kathiani Constituency and a Member of the Committee, to second the Report."
