Mr. Chairman, Sir, the rationale behind this amendment is the inclusion of the county government because agriculture being a devolved function, it was important to ensure that the CoG take part in the nomination of the board and the people who will run the board. Secondly, by changing and substituting, “nominated by universities” to “representing the universities nominated by the Commission on University Education”, ensures that it is also inclusive. Therefore, it does not claw back on the duties and the roles of the county government because this involves agriculture and it is a devolved function.

Mr. Chairman, Sir, I beg to move- THAT Clause 43 be amended in subclause (2) by inserting the words “and the Senate” immediately after the words “the National Assembly”. The rationale behind this is that when you talk about Parliament, it comprises the Senate and the National Assembly. Agriculture being a devolved function, the role of the Senate cannot be overlooked.
