    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to thank the Mover of the Bill. I came running because I wanted to speak and say that I support the Bill 100 per cent. Co-operatives originated from Murang’a, as Hon. Wamuchomba has mentioned. Back in the 1960s and the 1970s, co-operative societies in Murang’a County could lend money to the national Government. I am happy that we will manage those co-operatives. I stand here to honour one man, the late Muchiri, who was a co-operative officer, and later became the president of co-operatives in Africa. He was from Murang’a County, specifically Maragwa Constituency, Kamahuha Village. There is only one element which the Member can add to the Bill. We had the Co- operatives College, which later became the Co-operatives University. It trained students strictly on the management of co-operatives. There are now many loopholes because we converted all our technical institutes and colleges into universities, and diverged from the previous training. Let us see how we can incorporate the training of co-operators into the Bill, so that even the youth can join co-operatives and help their elderly parents in management. Thank you for donating that one minute. I support the Bill."
