    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. We were told Kiswahili came by ship and English came by plane. Some of us did not fly before we started working. You are correct. This Bill seeks to change the name from Controller and Auditor- General to Auditor-General. Members, you can excuse me for that and you can now recognise the right word to use. There is an issue of SACCOs that do not comply with regulations. Therefore, it also provides for processes on how registration of SACCOs is done and how licences are revoked. It recognises the process of a tribunal when there is a dispute. The Bill is also trying to bring in the role of the Cabinet Secretary to the tribunal. Currently, when there is a dispute, it is handled by the SACCOs tribunal but this Bill is proposing the inclusion of the Cabinet Secretary to the SASRA. Once SASRA has decided, the tribunal then can vary the decision of the authority but now the Cabinet Secretary is being brought into this Bill. This Bill is very small. It does not have a lot of issues. The objective of this Bill is to introduce the use of ICT as well as clean up to the current SACCOs Act. I also want to inform Members that although this Bill was introduced by the Cabinet Secretary in recognition that SACCOs fall under the Departmental Committee on Trade, Industry and Cooperatives, the decision was made that this Bill is taken through public participation by the Departmental Committee on Trade, Industry and Cooperatives led by Hon. Kanini Kega. Therefore, I want to make it clear so that it does not cause confusion because at the end of the day, the Committee will tell us what issues came up during public participation because they were the ones who did public participation. I want to end by saying that I thank the Committee for working hard around the issues that were raised by this Bill.
