    "content": "Many of us in this House are co-operators. In fact, I had the opportunity to dash to Kitengela over lunch hour to see part of the good work being done by the Parliamentary Co- operative Society (PACOSO). I know that Bunge Cooperative Society is also doing some good work. The PACOSO belongs to Members of Parliament, the lawmakers. I know that many Members are also members of co-operative societies back in the villages, be they producer co- operative societies or consumer co-operative societies. Many of us are members of cooperatives. Indeed, we are confronted severally by constituents who have issues with the management and the running of their co-operative societies. The members of the Trade and Industry Committee, who engaged with this Bill, will tell you that part of the problems that bedevil the coffee sector today is poor management of our co-operative societies in the sector. This Bill seeks to fix management and governance issues in our co-operative societies."
