"content": "With this law, no co-operative will come into place and then close within a short time. If it closes, then those who run the co-operative will be answerable before the counties and national governments and justice will be done to ensure they are brought to book. The collaborative venture of the national and county governments is important in ensuring that management is good. There is also need to come up with a standard of management of co-operatives. The management of co-operatives should run across the board so that what works in Kitui works in Nandi, Moyale and any other place. There is need for standardization in registering and canceling co-operatives and this Bill addresses that. The reasons for cancelling a co-operative have been given. For instance, if a co- operative does not operate by its set objectives, that is a reason to cancel it. If, for instance, they have not filed their returns for three consecutive years, that is also ground for cancellation. This will make the management of co-operatives to be careful when it comes to handling public money and the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) because they know that the national and county governments will be watching.
