    "content": "As a Ministry, we have very limited powers. The only powers that we have are for the Commissioner for Co-operatives to write to them pleading for them to make contributions. He also has the power to contact the banks for those defaulting to make sure that they remit their deductions. Sometimes banks are also tied because if there are no remittances, then the banks have no money in the accounts to make the remittances. We now have the Cooperatives Bill before the Senate. In that Bill, we have outlined what we need to institute, so that members’ remittances reach the SACCOs as required. We even involve the Controller of Budget (CoB) and the National Treasury in case of remittances for the county governments."
