    "content": "There are people out there who will ask why they have annulled the regulations. If they involve the House before the publication of the gazette notice, then that regulation will not be annulled. One of the reasons the Committee on Delegated Legislation annuls a number of statutory instruments is on technicalities. For example, the Statutory Instrument Act says that the moment an institution publishes gazette regulations; they must be submitted to the House within seven days. People send regulations which were gazetted in 2018 to the Clerk’s Office for me to table and submit them to the Committee on Delegated Legislation regulations. So, they are dead on arrival. I will give you an example of all those 23 regulations from the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority. The Director-General brought them to the House, but published them in 2018. I told him that I would table them, but they were dead on arrival. The Clerk’s office should write to the Government. They must read the law. If they do not do public participation and the Committee is convinced beyond reasonable doubt, that it was not done, that is another technicality for annulling regulations. If there are serious stakeholders who appear before the Committee and say that they are seeing the regulations for the first time and the institution that brought that gazette and the regulations cannot provide evidence in writing; which are the minutes and participation memoranda, then there is a technicality."
