    "content": "Clause 8 amends subsection 6 of the primary Act. It says- “Where a co-operative society which has been provisionally registered under this section contravenes subsection (3), the co-operative society and every officer or person who purports to act as an officer of the co-operative society commits an offence and shall be liable, on conviction, to a fine not exceeding fifty thousand shillings, or in the case of a continuing offence to a fine not exceeding one thousand shillings for each day during which the offence continues.” My time is almost running out. I see I have just about two minutes. I have given an understanding of what each of these amendments is all about by going through each of the clauses. There is an understanding that it is making the Act compliant with the Constitution. Clause 10 is dealing with amendment to the by-laws. In Clause 11, we are dealing with appeal against refusal for the rights that have been given. Across the different stages of the Bill the different provisions of how we should proceed with the various matters that this Bill wants to address are given. From Clause 23, we deal with issues of gazettement of each of the societies right up to Clause 38 which deals with liquidation. Clause 51 deals with tribunals. Clause 52 talks about the tribunal and their specific roles. There is the introduction of the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) in consultation with the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) and where they are called in to make determination in some of the issues that might be in contention. In Clause 53, the Bill amends Section 85 of the Cooperative Societies Act by having the JSC to appoint a secretary to the tribunal.
