According to the Statutory Instruments Act and our Standing Orders--- view
• 29 Sep 2021 in Senate: Our mandate is quite clear in the Standing Orders. Standing Order No.221 gives the mandate of the committee. Consideration of the formula and the Second Generation Marginalization Policy was not amongst the issues that we were supposed to consider when examining these regulations.

• 29 Sep 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir and Sen. Sakaja. Sen. Farhiya is a Member of the Committee on Finance and Budget and also a Member of our Committee. We discussed these issues although we never consulted the Chair of the Budget and Finance Committee.

We found that all these issues were considered and were well within the Constitution, the Statutory Instruments Act, the PFM Act and any other relevant legislation that is in force. view
• 29 Sep 2021 in Senate: The concern that the national Government is clawing back on the devolved functions is genuine.
