    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to thank hon. Bett for giving me two minutes and for moving the Motion. I come from a constituency where we depend mainly on farming and dairy farming is one of sources of income. This Motion is, indeed, very timely because in my constituency, I have five co- operative societies which are divided into various divisions. Most of them have collapsed simply because the prices of milk cannot sustain milk production in terms of animal feeds. If we were to talk about the increase in the price of milk, it will do a lot to help the farmers. The dairy farmers have been exploited, first, by the middlemen and secondly, by the big companies in our areas. They take advantage because when a farmer gets the milk probably in the morning and he misses the brokers who go round with motorcycles, he will have nowhere else to take the product. On the same note, one thing that I have realised in the milk industry--- The laws that govern the co-operative societies have big gaps which allow members to be exploited. We have formed co-operative societies but The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
