    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, hon. Ethuro should have included what he has said in the 1756 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 10, 2008 Question; that the last the time the society held elections was 2005. But by saying the society is moribund, it means it is not in operation, but the structures are still there. In the last answer which the Member has, we said that we have prepared a proposal of Kshs96 million for the rehabilitation of the society. Secondly, he talked about co-operative officers and mismanagement. The Ministry of Co-operative Development does not have teeth over mismanagement of co-operative societies. Hopefully, when we will bring the SACCOS Bill to this House, we will establish an authority that will check on mismanagement of co-operative societies. At the moment, the members of a society elect their own office bearers. They are the ones who know who can manage their projects properly. When the Ministry wants to come in, in most cases, they go to court. Mr. Speaker, Sir, my Ministry intends to visit Turkana and see what we can do to revive that co-operative society so that they can have meaningful income for the people. There is another issue which he said we will raise another day, but because I am here, why does he have to take it to another day? The Member talked about Lokichoggio Livestock Marketing Society, but this society does not appear in our register. What we have in our register is Lomidad Pastoral Multi-purpose Co-operative Society Limited, Registration No.CS/107/97, which was registered in 2005. The co- owners are the Turkana Pastoralists Milk Processing Factory."
