    "content": "along the line of the Cabinet Secretary and on the other side, the commissioners and also at the CEC Members level. Therefore, the Bill proceeds to explain the Cabinet Secretary, defines the County Executive Committee Members and their roles. Clause 3 is very critical because it amends the Principal Act, but also adds some of the important specifications that need to be put as guiding principles. For example, all persons shall in performance of the functions of this Act be guided by the following principles: autonomy, democratic rights, public participation et cetera which are very key and important. At Part 1A, the critical separation of the functions of the national and county governments is put into place. The roles of the national Government are put into place and discussed extensively in Part 2B. We have 2B because the earlier provisions have already been put in the Act. These are new sections put in as amendments to that particular Act. We have the roles of the national and county governments. Specifically, for the national Government, issues such as formulating a national policy framework and standards for the development of growth of co-operative society is very key. There is need to entrench audit firms in the cooperative sector so that these firms are known to be existing, that register is put and even the audit firms can be identified. There is also formulation of management standards of cooperative societies. Basically, there is the management aspect to ensure these societies can be well run."
