    "content": "Clause 8 of the Bill sets out the powers and functions of this Authority. In Clause 9, the Bill establishes a Board that will have a chairperson who will be appointed by the President subject to subsection 5. There will also be the Principal Secretary in the State Department for Irrigation or his representative, the PS of the National Treasury or his representative, the PS responsible for agriculture or his representative and six other members who will be appointed by the CS and approved by the President, taking into account various stakeholder interest in irrigation development and management. The Committee notes that the Bill repeals Cap 347 in Clause 34. It provides for transition of assets, liabilities, rights and powers of the Board created under Cap 347 to the proposed Authority. The enactment of this Bill may not necessitate incurrence of additional cost on the Exchequer with regard to establishment of office infrastructure and human resource for the Authority since it will inherit the existing infrastructure of the National Irrigation Board."
