    "content": "I will also propose amendments to Clause 17 which provides different standards. Sub- clause 2 says that the Cabinet Secretary shall ensure that irrigation developments are planned and implemented in accordance with certain standards, which include integrated water resource management principles. How I wish that we could also provide for human rights-based framework for management of irrigation. That would also take into account gender mainstreaming in management of irrigation. Sometimes when I raise these issues, people ask me how I see gender on issues of irrigation. When I was working with different Government agencies as a consultant before I came here, people used to ask the same question in regard to roads. Now I see many women involved in roads because we actually took initiative. I can see that I have already been given time warning, so I will just make one last comment. I am very happy that we are incorporating monitoring and strengthening monitoring. I am only concerned about Clause 16 which says that you can be released because of undesirable behaviour. What is undesirable behaviour? That is very subjective. We need to have a very clear and objective process of dismissing people. I do support. Thank you."
