    "content": "facilities, so that farmers do not just hear that there is a dam being constructed in their counties, but they also know how to enhance and tap the resources of that dam. I believe that through the spirit of this Bill, we are now talking about construction of dams for water consumption for our households. We are also talking about how we can create business platforms from the same dams and ensure that farmers have aggregation centres for whatever crops they are growing. For example, we have so many farmers in Murang'a, Kiambu, and Kirinyaga counties who have ventured into French beans farming, but are unable to aggregate their crops, so that the French beans can be bought from one centre, yield better prices for them and they can benefit from the available irrigation schemes. In as much as I support this amendment Bill, let us think wider and broader. Let us see how the small individual farmers will get proper training and orientation, so that they can tap into the resources being provided by the dams. Otherwise, I support the amendment Bill. I am very excited about this kind of development in the House. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
