    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree with your direction. It was just made in jest because Sen. Madzayo is my good friend. If that irrigation project fails, it will be one of the most spectacular failures of the legacy of President Uhuru Kenyatta. So, let us wait for the information and direction that you have given. Finally, irrigation and water issues are fully devolved. Looking at the example of Galana Kulalu Irrigation Scheme, I wish county governments that are within that region were given a heads-up, so that the only role of the national Government is just to give policy directions and stakeholder engagements. We will look into the future, but if Clause 11 is amended, and I hope the Senate Majority Leader will give us leeway--- I know it may look tedious because we may need to go to mediation. We should amend so that we do not risk clawing back clauses of devolution. By and large, I agree that this is a straightforward amendment and commend the Senate Majority Leader for bringing it. I hope the same speed we are using to process National Assembly Bills will be used in our sister “Lower House”, so that our Bills do not take ages there. As the Senate Majority Leader picks other Bills from the National Assembly, he should remind them to also process our Bills. I thank you."
