    "content": "cooperatives in various sectors of our economy as opposed to when it was just for the marketing segment. So, from an agricultural point of view, cooperatives play a key role when farmers come together to put resources together so that they can reach the required market and they can also be able to advance in value chain. This is because these are areas that need resource mobilisation. As you rightfully put that you cannot walk alone, you have to put resources together for you to advance rapidly. If you look at the economies that have been given as an example like Brazil, South Africa and Philippines, you can clearly see these are the economies that have advanced. They have been facing the same scenario like our country. They do not have the natural resources. They do not have the oil and gas but they have come up with economic models that are conducive for economic progress. This is where our country should go. This is the conversation us Kenyans should be having. We must actually look at an economic council aside from our political promises and pledges or political blueprint. We need to look at an economic council specifically to revamp our economy. We should look at the overall structure. We reengineer our economic models so that this country is on a trajectory. This is because we have mixed economy and politics and we have gotten it wrong. If we have an independent economic council that is specifically looking at revamping the overall economic structure of our country, then we will put ourselves on the right trajectory just like other countries have done like Singapore and South Korea, which were at par with our nation. These are some of the things that have helped them improve and actually make our country an attraction to the economic flow of income. If you make a nation stable with right models of economy, you are attracting the global flow of income. We will have industries set near because we have the right policies and economic models in place conducive enough to attract the global flow of income. This is the direction our nation needs to go. I applaud the Committee for this wonderful report. I have read that they undertook several examples from various countries, compared them and came up with right policies that will govern the economic model of our nation going forward. I support. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
