    "content": "to travel all the way to Nairobi to get things done. However, true to the spirit of devolution, many of these things will now be done at the county level. In that respect, one can then see the importance of this Bill in bringing this function squarely within the realm of the devolved system and within the second layer of Government, which are the devolved governments in the counties. Madam Deputy Speaker, this Bill also provides the provision for dealing with disputes. This is important because disputes concerning co-operative societies externally or within particular co-operative societies end up in the tribunals. Clause 11 in the Bill deals with the issue of dispute resolution in co-operative societies quite exhaustively. Governance with co-operative societies and the issue of auditing are well covered in the Bill. This is a Bill that I could speak to hours and hours. I am glad that I have this opportunity to speak to it before the Bill is put to a vote. I thank Sen. (Dr.) Zani for her industriousness which has resulted in coming up with many Bills to bring them within the realm of the current Constitution. There are some things that are little and may not make sense because we assume that they work even if there are no changes like the Clauses dealing with the amendment of reference to Cabinet Minister as opposed to Cabinet Secretary. That amendment is welcome in view of the current situation. I do not know whether you may be required to amend it again after the BBI report. I thank you."
