    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Since we came to this House, it is only the cabinet secretary who handles matters to do with cooperatives who has never appeared before us. I have questions waiting for him since 2022 to date. Many people in our communities have suffered due to the unscrupulous ways in which some investments were done by very hardworking teachers and farmers. Farmers in my constituency invested in real estate where they were saving Ksh20 to buy a plot in the town centre. They saved and got a plot right in the middle of this town, a building in Embu Town called EMKO and a lot of tracts of land. They do not know how those things ended in the wrong hands of people who were not investors those days. I feel like this is an urgent matter. I want to propose that the Cabinet Secretary for Cooperatives be made to appear before this House to answer the Questions that have accumulated since we started this Government, that touch on the lives of farmers and teachers. I agree with you that it is painful for retirees - people who have used a lot of their time to invest - not to get their returns at old age. I beg for your indulgence that it is important that the Cabinet Secretary appears before this House immediately we come from recess to answer those Questions. He is failing on his duty."
