    "content": "youth are at home and are not employed. As leaders, we appeal to them to participate in farming. Such a Bill encourages them to participate in farming, but it must have the components of value addition, marketing and public participation. Many times, we have done public participation in Nairobi yet we all know that farmers are not in Nairobi. If they are there, they are very few. We know farmers are in our various counties. It is always good to be strategic especially during public participation because we need to take into consideration the interests of the farmers. In public participation, farmers are given a chance to say what they want and what they feel about irrigation. I know it is about mapping, where and how it will be done and the budget to be used. Farmers should be given time and information at the right time on where public participation will be done. I know most public participation pertaining to different Bills is normally done in Nairobi. For this Bill, I request, if it is possible, that public participation be done in the counties or cluster them together to meet in one place, so that we hear the interests of the farmers exhaustively."
