Thank you, Hon. Speaker. From the outset, I wish to second the Senate Bill No.46, Irrigation Bill, National Assembly Bill No.46/2017. Like the Leader of the Majority Party has said, we have agreed with some sections and clauses because some of the areas were merely for cleaning the Bill while others have made fundamental changes which I am going to enumerate.

In Clause 2, we agreed that it was a matter of cleaning the Senate amendment to the definition of terms ‘irrigation’ and ‘licence’. So, we agreed with the Senate and Clause 2 did not make any difference.

In Clause 3 of the National Assembly Bill, they had sought to interchange the words ‘to matters relating to the development, management, financing provision of support services’, which the Committee felt did not make a difference. So, we agreed with the Senate. The Senate amendment does not alter the substance of the provision, but only seeks to reinforce the clause as it were.

In Clause 6, we agreed in part with the Senate. There are areas which we felt were just merely sanitising, but there were areas which made fundamental differences that we had rejected The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

as the National Assembly. In Clause 6(i), the Senate wanted to insert the words “the Cabinet Secretary shall in consultation with the Council of Governors”, but we felt this is not their mandate because irrigation is not a devolved function. So, the inclusion of the CoG so that the Cabinet Secretary consults them, we felt was going to cause unnecessary delay in implementation of irrigation matters.

In sub-clause 2, without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, provided that the Cabinet Secretary shall in consultation with the CoG... As a Committee, we felt that consulting the CoG on irrigation matters was not necessary and the Cabinet Secretary was going to take responsibility for the operational management and the estimates of the department. We felt that it is not necessary for the CoG to be involved when it comes to issues of irrigation.
