    "content": "Therefore, in the proposed amendments, those stakeholders are required to submit not just one, but a number of names from which the CS can pick from. We feel this is a good governance practice. The proposed amendment also makes provision for the CS in consultation with the stakeholders, including the county government, to invest in water infrastructure to facilitate irrigation. We know that there are a lot challenges related to irrigation development. We have had issues related to inadequacy in policies and legislation partly being addressed by proposed amendments. We also know that there is inadequate public and private sector investment because basically, investment in irrigation infrastructure is very expensive and should be done as a public good. The proposed amendment will enable us as a country, through the CS responsible and the relevant authority to make the necessary investments, so that we can harness the existing potential to enhance our food production and achieve self-sufficiency in food production. I support the amendment."
