    "content": "Thank you for that information. I have not had an opportunity to look at it, but these are the upcoming issues. We process some Bills here and the National Assembly processes similar Bills. Then what happens? I think the Senate should work very closely with the National Assembly, so that the Bills that we bring here, do not appear as if they are in conflict with the Bills or similar Bills to the ones in the National Assembly. My view is that we need a total overhaul of the parent Act, that is the Cooperative Society Act,1997. This Bill has made a very strong attempt at addressing the issue of how primary societies would be managed. However, there are a lot of other things which must be aligned to the current circumstances and best practices which are not in this Bill. I would encourage that a lot of consultation be done, so that we know the way forward. Otherwise, this is a very good attempt for a first-time Senator. I think this is encouraging. We must support this Bill, but with those issues I have highlighted addressed. I support."
