    "content": "amendment is seeking to change and realign it with 2010 Constitution that has two levels of government; the national Government and county government. It is important that most of these primary responsibilities and primary societies are at a grassroots level, and they are being managed by the county governments. It is reasonable and fair that the societies must be at the eye or supervision of county executive. I am persuaded to support this amendment Bill because it gives us a meaning of a primary society; whether it is a society for mama mboga, a family society, youth society, Jua Kali society, or any other society, that will help them to mobilise resources for their use in a controlled manner and a commercial level. This is rather than the ad hoc basis upon which you get a few clusters of people meeting together, forming a society which has not been vetted, has no regulations and rules. Therefore, members of the society end up losing money. Today, I know of people who are coming and appealing to me saying: “We had a society, each contributed so much money, but we do not know where that money is.” When your try to chase the documents of registration, they are not available because the records are either at the national level. If they are there, the files are lost, or the clever ones have gone and misplaced the files. Therefore, the poor fellows from the rural setting cannot trace their investments or assets in any society."
