The Senate Committee on Delegated Legislation met on Tuesday to review pending legislative matters and outline a structured plan for their consideration.
Chaired by Sen. Mwenda Gataya Mo Fire (Tharaka Nithi) the committee outlined various activities and legislative priorities with a strong focus on regulatory frameworks affecting multiple sectors.
Among the key regulations slated for consideration are the Pest Control Products Regulations, covering import and export (Legal Notice No. 190 of 2024), disposal (Legal Notice No. 191 of 2024), fees and charges (Legal Notice No. 192 of 2024), inspection and certification (Legal Notice No. 193 of 2024) and labeling, advertisement, and packaging (Legal Notice No. 194 of 2024).
Additionally, the committee is set to consider amendments to the Controller of Budget Act and its regulations, following recommendations from the Controller of Budget. These amendments aim to enhance the officeโs capacity to fulfill its mandate effectively, aligning with resolutions made during the Senate Mid-Term Retreat in Naivasha, Nakuru County in February 2025.
โWe have scheduled engagements with the office of the Controller of Budget and other stakeholders to ensure we effectively address challenges in the Controller of Budget Act. That will enable the office to deliver on its mandate adequately,โ said Sen. Mo Fire.
Furthermore, the committee is set to meet with the Cabinet Secretary for Roads and Transport to deliberate on the Civil Aviation (Aircraft Accident and Incident Investigation) Regulations, Legal Notice No. 5 of 2024.
Attending the meeting alongside the chairperson were Vice Chairperson Sen. Danson Mungatana (Tana River), Sen. Betty Montet and Sen. Daniel Maanzo (Makueni).
