    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also contribute to this very important Bill. I thank Sen.(Dr.) Zani for coming up with this very critical amendment Bill. I think we should have done it earlier. Nonetheless, we are happy that it is here. Cooperative societies have played a very important role in this country in terms of ensuring we have development not just economic, but also social. It has created jobs for so many people which has improved their living standards. More so, this Bill seeks to align the Cooperative Societies Act to the Constitution of Kenya 2010. It is very important because it provided a framework in which we will be able to separate the functions of the national and county governments. For some time as the Senator of Uasin Gishu County, Sen.(Prof.) Kamar has said, there has been a clash on who manages cooperative societies in our country. As she has said, she brought up a Petition for the MUSCO SACCO. It was apparent that there was a clash as to who would manage it. The county government wanted to manage it, but there was a bit of inconvenience on the end. Therefore, they could not save it in good time. I am happy to see that the functions of the national Government are very clear here. One of them is to maintain a national policy which is very important. The main one is to maintain a register of approved audit firms. When we looked at the MUSCO The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
