Beatrice Elachi","speaker":null,"content":" Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairman. While I support this amendment, when you consider the conditions to be complied with by persons applying to be admitted into a co-operative, you will realise just how co- operatives have “killed” each other. Clause 155(2)(j) states that the regulations may provide for the appointment, suspension and removal of the board of directors. That has been a thorn in the flesh of all co-operatives. I support the amendment. Women will also be part and parcel of co-operatives, especially on the board of directors, where there is always a challenge."}
