Hon. Deputy Speaker, Section 13 of the Statutory Instruments Act provides that regulations delegated cannot impose a fine, imprisonment or a penalty.

• 14 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, the Statutory Instruments Act, Section 6 requires that the regulation making authority, in this case the ERC should prepare a regulatory impact assessment. This statement is expected to lay out the socio-economic impact that the regulations should have. The reading of these regulations from the outset as we have laid out would affect a considerable number of households especially in urban areas and cities, along with institutions where our children go to school. It would impose a significant cost on society, including parents who pay boarding facilities, school fees and the tenants who have to pay rent. view

• 14 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: It is also not a basic requirement considering that the country has had a very big programme of ensuring that electricity gets to every household. Therefore, the public would be over-burdened and would negatively affect the Government’s agenda for affordable housing. It is also not practical to operationalise and monitor implementation as installing the appliances alone may not be tantamount to using them for hot water. Neither is the number of bedrooms in a house a reflection of the amount of cold or hot water that the householders use. It is, therefore, ambiguous and regulations in vain that are incapable ... view
