    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Murata Farmers SACCO is owned by shareholders drawn from the greater Murang'a and Thika districts and registered marketing co-operatives among others. Mugama Farmers Co- operative Union is also a shareholder. The Mugama Farmers Co-operative Union is owned by coffee farmers through the 36 affiliated primary co-operative societies, with a membership of over 110,000 individual coffee and dairy farmers. Mugama District Union (MDU) is a shareholder of Murata Farmers SACCO. The relationship between the two is that Murata Farmers SACCO was born out of Murang'a Farmers District Co-operative Union, which is now called Mugama District Co-operative Union. (b) I am aware that Murata Farmers SACCO is demanding outstanding loan arrears from coffee farmers in Murang'a South District. Some of the loans being demanded by Murata SACCO were advanced to the coffee farmers by the then Murang'a Farmers District Co-operative Union, through its union banking section, which later transformed into a rural SACCO. That is the current position."
