    "content": "However, the Committee did not accede to the Crops (Tea Industry) Regulations, 2020. The Committee will be seeking a resolution of the Senate to annul the Crops (Tea Industry) Regulations, 2020. Some of the provisions were not in the interest of counties. The regulations should clearly provide for the role of counties, noting that agriculture is a devolved function. I wish to thank the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, Sen. Ndwiga, and the Members of the Committee for their valuable input in the consideration of the two regulations. Madam Deputy Speaker, other regulations to operationalize the Crops Act are in different stages of consideration as follows- (1) The Crops (Horticultural Crops) Regulations, 2020, which were tabled on 4th August, 2020. The Committee considered the Regulations on 19th September, 2020 and wrote to the CS for Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries and Cooperatives raising various issues. The Committee is awaiting a response on the Regulations. (2) The Crops (Sugar) (Imports, Exports and By-Products) Regulations, 2020. The Regulations were tabled on 21st July, 2020. The Committee considered the Regulations on 5th November, 2020 and is scheduled to meet stakeholders on 11th November, 2020. The Committee has scheduled the Crops (Fibre Crops) Regulations, 2020 and the Crops (Nuts and Oil Crops) Regulations, 2020 for consideration. These regulations affect counties because agriculture is a devolved function. The Committee is keen to ensure that the devolved functions are not usurped by the national Government."
