This was the Commissioner for Co-operatives advising the District Co- operatives Officer in the Butere/Mumias District at the time. I am wondering who this George Dipondo is, who is above the law and can go against the directives of the Registrar of Co-operative Societies and also the Commissioner, who in this case was Dr. Ndoiyo."}
