    "content": "Also, I will be encouraging the Minister for Co-operative Development and Marketing that the Government has no business having shares in a co-operative society. A co-operative society belongs to farmers. We cannot run the Government by selling cheese and butter. We should be dealing with other issues and the taxation that comes out of it. But as a parastatal, we should hand it over because it was a transition stage. As the Minister has expressed to the farmers from region to region, and he came to Eldoret to discuss this, the Government is holding it in custody for the farmers for the period when we are preparing ourselves to resell the shares back. It is very important that we sell the shares back wholesomely to the farmers. First, we need to recover the original shareholders. Secondly, we have children of the same farmers who may want to be given shares themselves. Those are the people who should be introduced to the shareholding, but definitely, I support that we should not go outside the farming communities or outside the milk producers before we give shares to these rightful owners of KCC."
