    "content": "has given us his professional view. He said that camel milk is good milk but cannot be defined as medicinal. On the issue of cooperatives, it is also necessary that we look at this law although we have our own reservations. Most of the SACCOs that are out there that were supervised or regulated collapsed. We have had quite a number in my county. I have heard an Hon. Member discuss Mwalimu SACCO. We had Teachers SACCO in my county that collapsed and members lost millions of shillings. About three years ago, we had Hekima SACCO. It was very successful and worked very well but rogue individuals that worked as officials went away with money. It is therefore necessary to have SACCOs regulated. The guys that run these institutions must be people of honour. At the same time, we have three other Bills and we feel that instead of doing the Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill, we should do standalone Bill to cover the irregular amendments. Otherwise, I support this Bill but will bring in amendments when we get to the Committee of the whole House stage, so that Members can know that despite the fact that the amendments before the House look good, no one owns them."
