    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, to answer the concerns of my colleague, I said that we are not aware of members who were surcharged by the High Court for any reason. His argument is based on the inquiry report which recommended the surcharging of the members, including Mr. Dipondo. But this was in 2003 before the Co-operatives Act was repealed in the year 2004. So, unless my colleague says that the revised Co-operatives Act should be implemented, but at that time Mr. Dipondo appealed to the Minister against the advice of the Commissioner of Co-operatives. He was given the benefit of doubt because part of the surcharging concerned a criminal case against consultants who had swindled the company of some money. So, he could not be surcharged as a person despite being in office. Under the recommendation of the Commissioner of Co-operatives that they hold elections--- Co-operative societies have the prerogative of choosing their own members. During the meeting, members said that they wanted Mr. Dipondo back and so, they chose him as the chairman."
