Section 17 of the Interpretation and General Clauses Ordinance, Cap. 1 of the 1938 Revised Edition.
Section 18 of this Ordinance is identical'with Section 28A of the Northern Rhodesia Ordinance set out above.
Section 14 of the Interpretation and General Clauses Ordinance, Cap. 87 of the 1935 Revised Edition.
Section 10 of this Oriinance (amended by Ordinance No. 21 of 1938) also provides that,
"10. Where under any Ordinance the Governor is given power to make any appointment, give any directions, issue any order, authorise any thing or matter to be done, grant any exemption, remit any fee or penalty, or exercise any other rower, it shall be sufficient if the exercise of such power by the Governor be signified under the hand or the Chief Secretary to the Government or, in his absence, of the Deputy Chief Secretary.
Provided always that the foregoing provision shall not apply to the power of the Governor to make any rules, or issue any warrants or proclama- tions which shall be made or issued only under the hand of the Governor himself.
The Sierra Leone Interpretation Ordinance, No. 2 of
1.33 makes the same provision as the Kenya Ordinance but
inserts after the word "prescribe" the words "by notice in
the Gazette", and inserts a sentence after "aforesaid" as
follows:-
Provided that no such delegation of powers and/or
duties shall have effect until notified in the Gazette."

GOVERNMENT HOUSE,
HONG KONG.
11th January, 1940.
My dear (cut.
Notwithstanding Caldecott's and
my efforts to the contrary the Governor of
Hong Kong has far too many routine documents
put up to him for signature and I want to
arrive at some convenient method of delegation.
The Official Signatures Ordinance, No. 37 of
1935 brought some relief but only in the realm
of revenue documents.
In the Straits Settlements there is
a Delegation Ordinance (Cap. I Volume I Laws of
Straits Settlements) under which the Legislative
Council may authorize by resolution delegatory
acts in favour of specific officials, but this
seems to me to be an unnecessary process. Unless
my memory is at fault the African Colonies (Kenya
at any rate) provide for such delegation in the
Interpretation of Clauses Ordinance. If I am
right will you be good enough to quote to me
the relevant section from one of the African
Ordinances?
