    "content": " Hon. Wamuchomba, please, let me allay your fears. We took care of the interests of the people of Kenya and applied ourselves adequately on this matter. Having been on this Committee since the last term, and having interacted with this matter, I know where the problem lies. One of the saving graces is that the registration certificate is being issued by the commissioner so that we do not have any situation where, as we allay the fears, that the county governors may decline to give a certificate of registration for the corporate societies when they think they are more powerful than them and will influence the political process. In the same way, those account directors are professionals. So, they are bound by some professional ethics. When they make a recommendation, again, the commissioner of the co-operative will have to undertake due diligence, do an investigation and satisfy themselves if the reasons given for cancellation or dissolution are valid and not politically motivated. Hon. Wamuchomba, the Bill states thus: “A person aggrieved by an order of the Comission under subsection one may appeal against such an order to the corporate tribunal within 30 days of that order.\" The safeguards are adequate. We were fairly well exposed and we know what to do. When I am here, you can take comfort."
