    "content": "I remember when I was very young, I was in a group and we agreed to buy a cow. I was a high school teacher that time. We really struggled to get the money to buy the cow because it was very expensive. The cow was giving us milk. We were still naive. We did not have the awareness and the teachings on how to go about the proceeds of the milk. We found that whoever was keeping the cow was the one benefitting. This is because she was milking and getting the milk and by the time we knew it, it had given birth to three calves. It was messy. By the time the group ended, many members were not on talking terms. So, this Bill comes out clearly to ensure that such pitfalls are not there. When it comes to also resource mobilization, it is very clear that the groups can have resource mobilization. The money should be used for the groups and there should be sanctioning for those who misappropriate money for the group. This is because when the money for the group comes, it does not belong to one person. It belongs to everyone and everyone has a say with in regards to the money. Also, everyone has a say in the group so that when it comes to the merger, the chairperson cannot individually decide that he or she will merge with another group. There is going to be a consensus because three quarters of the group members must actually consent and accept that they are giving a go ahead for the merger of the group. I therefore, support this Bill. I hope it sees light at the end of the tunnel because it is a good Bill that will empower our people not only here but, in the counties where they belong."
