    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to speak to the irrigation Bill. I am a Member of the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources and we had time to look at the proposed amendments. Basically, they are supposed to align the principal Act with the provisions of the Constitution. We know that irrigation is very important for us as a county in helping us achieve food security. We also know that agriculture is fully devolved. Therefore, in terms of the power of the Cabinet Secretary to appoint board members to the National Irrigation Authority, there is a requirement that the Council of Governors (CoG) nominates some Members. There is need for associations such as the private associations of those doing small scale irrigation to also nominate some members.
