    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, the rest of the issues are generally matters that are related to management of boards, financial provisions of the Board, dispute resolution, miscellaneous offences and so forth within the Act. I want to emphasize - because I do not want to belabour the point - the fact that irrigation is important and a function of both levels of government. It is the future of this Republic. If you want to settle issues that are related to food security in the Republic of Kenya and in the many parts of this country, the next frontier is to ensure that we have proper irrigation as envisaged in this Act and captured by the manifesto of the Government of the day who promised that they will do a lot of irrigation schemes across the country. This must be demonstrated by ensuring that we give them the necessary legal framework so that they can appoint the people and establish the institutions; that they will not give an excuse in so far as matters of irrigation are concerned. I beg to move and invite the Chairperson of the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and fisheries and a former Minister, the Senator for Embu County to second."
