    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, this Bill proposes in fact even in Clause 4 to give unto this Authority the functions it does not have according to the Constitution. If I read the Fourth Schedule on the functions of the national Government when it reaches agriculture policy, what we are discussing here is that the functions of the Authority shall be to promote best practices in and regulate the production, processing, marketing, grading, storage, collection. This is a function of the county governments and this is not a county government legislation. The county government should be allowed to come and legislate on its own roles. Take for instance; the functions and powers of the counties are: (a) Agriculture including crop and animal husbandry, livestock, county abbattoirs, plant and animal disease control and fisheries. Here, what are we trying to do as far as this Authority is concerned? Are we trying to take over the functions of the county governments and give them to the national governments?"
