Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. Many people do not know that when the Committee on Delegated Legislation annuls a regulation or statutory instrument, it is important for the sector ministries or even the House to first see the reasons it has used.

27 Nov 2019 in National Assembly:
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 ...

27 Nov 2019 in National Assembly:
I always stand with the Committee on Delegated Legislation. When they annul regulations, I usually read the Report. Unlike other committees, the business of the Committee on Delegated Legislation in approving or annulling a regulation is based on the law. They do not go to the stuff of the regulation. They ask whether it was brought to the House within the required timelines, was public participation done or it conflicts with the Constitution or any other Act of Parliament. When they were dealing with the regulations on the debt ceiling, the Budget and Appropriations Committee and the Department Committee on ...

There is an impression out there that the Committee on Delegated Legislation annuls everything. As Hon. Bunyasi said, these particular Land Registration (Electronic Land Transactions) Regulations are important. Land is a factor of production. Hon. (Dr.) Oundo will agree with me because I sat with him in the Mediation Committees.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Hon. Makau is an expert in land matters, not in terms of professionalism, but because he was the Mayor of Masaku.

He can paraphrase it.

Hon. Speaker, there is a direction by the Government that all pending bills should be paid by the 30th of this month. I hope that, as the Chair brings the statement, he also brings the cheque and a copy of the payment to the Member because Thursday, next week is very close to the deadline. He can bring documentation showing that those Kenyans have been paid their money.

Hon. Speaker, Hon. Katoo is picking the last day and next time. As per the Calendar, this House is going to resume somewhere in February. I want you to use your powers now and ask the Committee to give an answer before the House goes on recess, so that the House can get recourse. If he does it on 5th December, he can bring any answer then the payment will not be made.
