Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, the Bill be amended by inserting the following new Clause immediately after New Clause 26: Registration by cooperative societies. 26D. (1) A smallholder coffee grower shall have the freedom to register with the co-operative society, association or company to which he or she delivers coffee. (2) The directors of a coffee co-operative shall serve for a maximum period of two three-year terms. (3) In electing directors under this section, a co-operative society shall ensure that not more than two thirds of the members are of one gender and that nominees for the Board meet the requirements of Chapter Six of the Constitution. No. 12 of 1997. (4) Notwithstanding the provisions of any other law, every coffee factory may, by resolution of its members in the Annual General Meeting, apply for registration as a co-operative society under the Co-operatives Societies Act. (5) Every producer co-operative society, association or company, coffee plantation and nursery operator shall register with the county government by supplying such particulars as shall be prescribed in Regulations made under this Act. (6) Where a person starts growing coffee at any time after the commencement of this Act, such person shall, within six months register with— (a) a co-operative society, association or company in accordance with subsection (1) if such a person is a small scale grower; or (b) his or her respective county government in accordance with provisions of this Act if such a person is a plantation grower or a co-operative society. (7) The co-operative society, association, company and the county government shall each maintain a register for the purpose of this section and shall record the particulars supplied in accordance with this section. (8) The county government shall share the data captured in this section with the Board on an annual basis. (9) Where a co-operative society, association, company or the county government has reasonable cause to believe that a person whose particulars are recorded has ceased to be a grower, it may, after giving that person written notice by registered post of its intention to do so, remove the name of such person from the register. (10) The register referred to in subsection (7) shall be proof that a person is a registered coffee grower and a co-operative society shall furnish the county government with particulars of all registered coffee growers in such manner as the county government may prescribe."
