(c) Clarify whether public participation in the review of the rates for the water use charges in the different permit categories was effectively carried out as well as the steps the Ministry has put in place to ensure that the infrastructural development of Nginda Irrigation Scheme is up to par with the increase in farming activities within the scheme?
