    "content": "When you look at clause 14 (2)(b), the Director of Co-operatives at the county level is given a function of carrying out inspections into the affairs of co-operatives in the county. Let me first discuss this particular issue as this is one of the issues that could have led to the collapse of co-operatives. When somebody is given the mandate or the power to inspect co-operatives, and that he or she goes further to make decisions, are they decisions that lead to the development of those co-operatives? Such a person can reverse such a decision by the leadership of co-operatives. It is one of the problems that has led to the collapse of co- operatives. That is because if members of a co-operative have developed their own strategy, their own way of doing business and they make decisions, once their decision is affected or changed by an individual who does not even belong to the co-operative, then it makes the co- operative membership uncomfortable and, therefore, it is possible that those co-operatives may not move on as probably expected."
