• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairman, public participation is a requirement under the Statutory Instruments Act but, unfortunately, our experience has been that, sometimes, the regulation-making authorities are unable to do this sufficiently because of the description or the manner in which public participation should be undertaken is not clearly stated in the Act. Therefore, this amendment is to further clarify how public participation should be undertaken and ensure we do not have a failure by the delegated regulation-making authorities in this regard. view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: The other amendment relates to the explanatory memorandum. It is a requirement again of the Statutory Instruments Act that whenever a regulatory-making authority submits the regulations to the Committee on Delegated Legislation, they must have an explanatory memorandum. Many do not clarify the contents in the Statute and, therefore, we have received many inadequate explanatory memoranda which make it difficult for us to scrutinise the regulation. Therefore, this amendment is to further clarify so that we do not have the challenge of inadequate clarification. It further clarifies that the explanatory memorandum must indicate that consultation was undertaken and if it ... view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: The other amendment relates to the amount of time Parliament and Committee have to scrutinise the regulations. In this case, the current law in the Statutory Instruments Act requires that it should be done within 28 days. We are proposing an amendment to make it 28 sitting days in order to give us sufficient time. It will also take care of the challenge and mischief by regulatory-making authorities who bring the regulations the time Parliament goes on recess or like the case in the 11th Parliament, just before the end of the term of the 11thParliament because the law says ... view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: regulations take effect automatically. When they want to bypass the scrutiny of Parliament, that is what they do. So, we have asked for increase of time so that we have sufficient time to take care of this mischief by various authorities. That is why we have made that proposed amendment. We have learnt lessons from the 11th Parliament which was the first to deal with statutory instruments coming before it. We have learnt from our predecessors that it is necessary to have this amendment. view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: With that brief justification, I beg to move. view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to report that a Committee of the whole House has considered the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments)(No. 3) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 44 of 2017) and approved the same with amendments. view
• 28 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, this House adopts the Reports of the Committee on Delegated Legislation, laid on the Table of the House on Tuesday, 27th March 2018, and pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 210(4)(b) annuls in entirety the following regulations: (i) The National Land Commission (Investigation of Historical Injustices) Regulations, 2017; (ii) The Traffic (Amendment) (No. 3) Rules, 2017; and (iii) The Kenya Defence Forces (Pensions and Gratuities) (Officers and Service Members) Regulations, 2017.

• 28 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: As regards the Traffic Act and in exercise of the powers conferred by Section 119 of the Traffic Act, the Cabinet Secretary for Transport, Infrastructure, Housing and Urban Development published the Traffic (Amendment) (No. 3) Rules, 2017 on 19th December, 2017 via Legal Notice No. 299 of 2017. These rules were intended to review fees paid for inspection of motor vehicles upwards, in a graduated manner. This affects members of public. The Committee found, after deliberations and in consultation with the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) members that, in fact, the regulations were published and presented without adequate public ... view
• 28 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, first I want to thank Members for their valuable contributions. In response to what has been raised, the annulment is not fatal. The bodies 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. view
• 28 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: concerned still have an opportunity to resubmit the Regulations to the Committee on Delegated Legislation. Indeed, orders were already granted by a court on 31st of February 2018 which extended for a further six months from the date of the ruling. The National Lands Commission must then comply with that order. Also, for the Traffic Regulations we know that the National Transport Authority is working on bringing the legislation back to us. We hope that this would be a lesson for other regulatory bodies so that they ensure they comply with the law. With that, I beg to move. view
