    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I knew the hon. Member would ask about co- operative socities in Trans Nzoia District in particular since he comes from that area although he asked the Question in general. It is important to inform him that Trans Nzoia District has 278 dormant co-operative societies and 111 active societies, thus 71 per cent of the co-operative societies are active. Therefore, Trans Nzoia co-operative societies were also affected by the liberalisation process and lack of capital. These are mainly the co-operative socities for cereal marketing. We have also those which are dealing with farm purchases which are about 56. They have not accomplished their tasks because of the same various reasons which I had given earlier on. We also have five co-operative societies in housing which have not accomplished their task. There are four dairy co-operatives societies and three Jua Kali co-operative societies. This is only in Trans Nzoia District. We are dealing with them and I can assure Capt. Nakitare that they will be revived very soon."
