    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if you look at the East African Community Cooperative Societies Bill, the Chair who was moving the Report indicated to us that it is not complete. She is proposing amendments and I also agree with her that first of all, we take cognizance of the fact that Kenya is embracing a two-tier Government where we have the national Government and the county governments. If you look at our Constitution, you will find that it tells us where the co-operatives lie. Co-operatives are fundamental functions of the county governments. So, this Bill has not taken cognizance of that fact. We will be proposing during the Committee of the whole House stage some amendments. If the Chair will not be there, I will move the amendments to make sure that the law complies with our current law."
