    "content": " Hon. Temporary Chairlady, I agree to some extent with my good friend with a red cap. I remember Kibra. I totally agree. If you look at the intent and wording of the clause, it seems to resolve disputes between the cotton farmer, the co- operative societies and other members. In the current Co-operative Act, there is already a tribunal that resolves disputes between the co-operators and the management of the co-operative. In the new Act, Hon. Gichimu and I are privileged because we sit in another committee that is reviewing the Act. The mandate and composition of the tribunal have been changed. Again, under the Crop Act, there are very many tribunals. I would imagine any dispute arising out of any arrangement between the members and the co-operative union, should be dealt with under the co-operative tribunal. Any other matters dealing with disputes about cropping, crop husbandry, disputes between one farmer and another, there are enough regulations and laws under the county governments that can deal with that. This is just a waste of public resources. They will have nothing to do. I would want the Chairman to drop it as well as that of my good friend, Hon. Mutuse, and probably just make a reference or re-draft the section that any dispute arising will be handled by the Co-operative Tribunal that is established under the Co-operative Act. Thank you."
