[kictanet] Government moves to stop use of solar energy

Fri Dec 4 15:01:36 EAT 2020

Good afternoon,

Parliament passes legislation giving authority to Ministries, Departments and Agencies to operationalize the legislation through regulation e.g. the Cabinet Secretary can sign them off.

COK2010 also gave government circulars the force of law. Circulars do not need parliamentary approval

Regards,

Alex

I don’t think regulations need to go to parliament for approval.

The chances are that if nobody rigorously campaigns/ lobbies against these regulations, parliament will pass them as gazzetted by EPRA.

There is no technical or legal Justification for discriminating one electrical technician from another. The regulations should therefore not be substantially different from the existing ones. I am not aware of any university which trains technicians per se. That requirement is therefore superfluous. Fortunately, regulations these days require approval of Parliament and these ones should be considered "dead on arrival".
