    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Bill. Before I do so, I join you in welcoming the visiting students from both institutions and encourage them to learn what they can from this august House. I was carefully listening to the distinguished Senator for Isiolo County as she moved this Bill. I was eager to hear what has changed from the Bill that this House rejected. Absolutely nothing has changed. I expected that after this Bill was declined by this House, the Government side that is promoting the Bill would even have had the courtesy to engineer a Kamkunji so that Members can walk through the Bill, raise their concerns, better it and then bring it to the House for legislation. Mr. Speaker, Sir, these smirks of arrogance that: “we have the numbers, we will bring it and the voting machines will do their work” is not the way to go. We want to pass a law that helps this country. I have seen my distinguished colleague from Mandera County poorly executing the assignment of justifying why the Bill is here. Agriculture is a devolved function. Irrigation by whatever name or description you call it is agriculture. It is food production, whether you are irrigating eucalyptus trees, rice paddies, maize 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."
