    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to thank all the Senators for their insightful contributions to this Bill. It is true that irrigation agriculture, particularly implementation of agriculture is a county function. As to why the national Government still does irrigation, the devil lies in the detail, particularly when it comes to how a Government can guarantee food security because the national Government’s responsibility is to ensure that there is food security in the country. Purposive interpretation of the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution would still give room to what Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. Said; that when it comes to counties, they have certain responsibilities that they can do, for example, most of the irrigation that we are saying should be done, it is now private work, more less facilitating private investors to do irrigation. It is not like a county government can go and till land, literally speaking 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."
