    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the Petition presented by the Hon. Member. He has clearly articulated the issues concerning the Nandi Teachers SACCO. Yesterday, while you were away, I had the chance to preside over the Committee of the whole House that dealt with the Cooperatives Bill (National Assembly Bill No.7 of 2024). Teachers in Kenya have suffered under cooperatives because they adopted savings and cooperative structures early enough. They have been mistreated due to inadequate laws, which we were amending yesterday, and by cooperative officials who used the opportunity to swindle their money. The situation in Nandi is reflected in many other small SACCOs established by teachers at the county or former district levels. My concern is the fact that the Public Petitions Committee has so much load. In the past, Parliament used to assist the public in these matters. Therefore, I urge the Public Petitions Committee to clinically investigate this issue and bring a report to the House. It is crucial that teachers, many of whom are retirees or have unfortunately passed away, receive their refunds or at least some form of relief."
