    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the Report of the Committee. National matters should be handled by the national Government. As we know, irrigation is under the national Government and has not been devolved. So, having the idea of consulting the governors before the national Government makes an initiative to implement its work will delay the full functioning of the national Government. As the national Government deals with its matters, it is important to involve the body mandated to do the work as stated by the Committee. We should not dwell on supporting the Senate amendments because we should work as intended by the national Government. At the same time, on increasing the number of representatives to the proposed board, it is the duty of county governments to attend public participation when there is a project the national government wants to implement and give their views. Hon. Speaker, I concur with the amendment by the Committee."
