    "content": "Hon. Members, as you may recall, the Statutory Instruments (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.13 of 2019) was published vide Kenya Gazette Notice No.21 of 15th March 2019. The Bill sponsored by the Member for Kangema, Hon. Muturi Kigano, proposes to amend the Statutory Instruments Act of 2013. The section he proposed to delete exempts rules and regulations made by courts of competent jurisdictions from being referred to the relevant Committee for review and scrutiny upon being tabled in the respective Houses of Parliament. The Bill was read for the first time on 3rd April 2019, and committed to the Committee on Delegated Legislation for consideration. I wish to inform the House that I have since received a letter dated 14th October from the sponsor of the Bill, the Member for Kangema, Hon. Muturi Kigano, requesting to withdraw the same Bill. In seeking to withdraw the Bill, the Member states: “The matters sought to be included and to fall under the Statutory Instruments Act are purely executive in character and are solely administrative.” Standing Order No.140(1) provides: “Either before the commencement of business on the Order of the Day for any stage of the Bill being read, the Member in charge of a Bill may, without notice, claim to withdraw a Bill.”"
