    "content": "vital role in our societies by reducing poverty. They also make it easier for members to access market for their produce. Madam Deputy Speaker, I believe this Bill by Sen. (Dr.) Zani will strengthen devolution in this country because it talks about standardization of policies in the cooperative societies. Some people start cooperative societies to enrich themselves by embezzling or stealing members’ deposits from poor Kenyans or wananchi. Madam Deputy Speaker, we have seen boda boda riders or livestock farmers coming together to form cooperative societies, but they are frustrated by rogue directors who run those societies on their behalf. That is why I supporting the proposal of vetting and registering directors. It is important to vet directors and managers who will run these cooperative societies so that we get the right people. Kenya Railways Corporation Cooperative Society thrived in the past, but it was run down and members suffered a lot. There are many petitions pending before the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. The members are crying because some rogue directors have stolen their savings."
