    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 14 be amended by deleting subclause (1) and substituting therefor the following new subclause— (1) Each county government may, within its area of jurisdiction, establish a county irrigation development unit for the better carrying out an irrigation function delegated by the Cabinet Secretary as may be prescribed in the Regulations. One of the reasons is to conform to the distribution of functions as provided for in the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution and the provisions of Article 6(2). Two, irrigation is not agriculture, hence it is not a devolved function and it is not included in Part II of the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution. Consequent thereto, irrigation is a residual function of the national government in accordance with Article 186(3) of the Constitution, which provides that functions not assigned by the Constitution or national legislation to a county be retained as a function of the national government. That is the reason why I have deleted the provision and replaced it with better drafting language. I am sure the Chair will agree with me on this one. I beg to move."
