    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Bill. At first instance, I have been trying to go through the main Act. Unless the Senate Majority Leader can confirm, I am not sure that this is a legislation arising out of the Bills that were done before the new Constitution. In fact, when I look at the definitions, it appears as if the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries which this Bill will be referred to, should look at the definitions that appear on Clause 2. When I read the Long Title of the seeds and plant varieties, unless there is another Act that is not with us; those definitions do not seem to be appearing there. However, I have only looked at this. From my reading of the Constitution, I said that this Bill does not appear to be a Bill that was passed under the new Constitution. In fact, at the heading, it says that it commenced on 1st January, 1975. This Bill has only been amended three times; No.1 of 1972, No.2 of 2002 and No.53 of 2012. Under Schedule 4, the function of agriculture which includes crop and animal husbandry in Part 2 is a function of county government. Therefore, it is my plea to the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, led by Senator, the King of Meru to interrogate this Bill in its entirety so that if there are portions where in these sections - committees that are begin set up - because my understanding is that this appears to be very cosmetic changes or few changes but if there is a place where we can find a home for the county governments and their institutions, The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
