    "content": "pursuant to the provisions of Section 18 of the Statutory Instruments Act, 2013 and Standing Order 210(4)(b) annuls in entirety- (a) the Public Finance Management (Biashara Kenya Fund) Regulations, 2019 (Legal Notice No.78 of 2019); (b) the Public Finance Management (Uwezo Fund) (Revocation) Regulations, 2019 (Legal Notice No.79 of 2019); (c) the Public Finance Management (Women Enterprise Fund) (Revocation) Regulations, 2019 (Legal Notice No.80 of 2019); and, (d) the Public Finance Management (Youth Enterprise Development Fund) (Revocation) Regulations, 2019 (Legal Notice No.81 of 2019). The Committee on Delegated Legislation is established pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.210 with the power to scrutinise all statutory instruments presented to this House, to ensure that they comply with the Constitution and all other Acts of Parliament. The Committee is expected to consider, in respect of the statutory instruments, whether it is in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution and whether it contravenes any of the other laws and other statutory instruments. These particular statutory instruments were published as guided by the principles of good governance, the rule of law and all other considerations to ensure that there are no drafting defects and unjustifiable delays in publishing and tabling of the expenditure from the Consolidated Fund and other public revenues before this House. This is the 17th Report of the House recommending annulment of regulations. For the Information of the House, the Committee has since approved 84 pieces of instruments in the year 2018 and 21 so far in the year 2019 and another 47 are under consideration by the Committee. We will ensure that we work hard to dispense with them. In addition, 33 instruments were referred to the Committee and tabled before this House yesterday. At this point, I want to laud the regulation- making authorities who have continued to comply with Section 11 of the Statutory Instruments Act in presenting and submitting the instruments before the National Assembly for scrutiny. Since 2017, the Committee has interacted with various regulation-making authorities in considering the business before it. These include the National Treasury, which has presented 35 pieces of subsidiary legislation, the Kenya Revenue Authority, which has presented two, and the Ministry of Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development, which has presented 36. There is also the Judiciary, which has presented two, the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, which has presented two pieces and four pieces for pre-publication scrutiny, bringing them to a total of six. The Defence Council has presented 19, the Attorney-General has presented four, the Parliamentary Service Commission has presented two, the Ministry of Lands and Planning has presented seven, the Ministry of Tourism and Wildlife has presented five, the National Land Commission has presented two, the Ministry of Health has presented one, the Law Society of Kenya has presented one, which is under pre-publication scrutiny, and the Ministry of Energy has presented one. The Ministry of Petroleum and Mining has presented two and the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources has presented four that are before us for pre-publication scrutiny. The Public Finance Management (Biashara Kenya Fund) Regulations that are before us and the Public Finance Management (Uwezo Fund) (Revocation) Regulations, the Women Enterprise Fund (Revocation) and the Youth Enterprise Development Fund (Revocation) Regulations were published on 13th June 2019 by the Cabinet Secretary for the National The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
