"content": " Hon. Temporary Chairman, women have been the labourers for a long time when it comes to the primary producer co- operatives. They work hard to produce milk but, when it comes to the accounting behind the milk card, only men are considered. Therefore, women end up being labourers, but they are not the earners. I am very excited to see this amendment because it will finally ensure that the affirmative action guidelines that are needed in co-operative societies are put in place. The women and youths of Kenya and other special interest groups, which are usually sidelined when it comes to earning revenues, will now be heavily considered. Githunguri is the biggest producer of milk. However, we struggle to ensure that the women who milk the cows receive their dues. I am happy that this is now happening because we have been struggling to find ways and means of ensuring that women can earn money. I support the amendment 100 per cent."
