    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also rise to very strongly support this report that has been submitted to this House. On the onset, let me thank the Chairman for the manner in which he has presented this Report to the House. I also extend the same appreciation to the membership of the Committee who really assisted the Chairman to generate this Report.

We want this giant SACCO, which is the biggest in the African Continent, to be a role model in our country. For it to be a model society, its transparent and accountable systems must be set right. I have noted that SACCOs have played a pivotal role in enhancing the quality of lives for our people, but it is still fresh in our memories that recently, we had the pyramid schemes, which were being executed by mischievous characters in our society.
