    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I beg to reply by thanking the Members of the Committee of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries for spending their time and commitment in ensuring that we listen to the stakeholders and the petitioner in this matter. I thank the secretariat for equally taking their time to dedicate themselves to listening to this Petition. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as you have heard Members contribute to this Petition, it is very clear that Kenyans have begun to have trust and confidence in the Senate, specifically the Standing Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries because agriculture is the backbone of the sustainability of Kenyans. The Government is pumping many resources into agriculture, livestock and fisheries. In this particular context, it is important that the county governments and the national Government employees take their work seriously, commit themselves and ensure value for money. The story of the West Kano Plain Irrigation Scheme is similar to many other schemes in the country. Cooperatives are suffering because of poor management, corruption, tribalism and high hardiness. As the Petition shows, EACC has failed to up its game and listen to the people's cries and pleas. In the report, the committee brings out the salient issues affecting this scheme. Looking at how the Ministry of Cooperative and Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
