    "content": "Some people manage our monies in the Bunge SACCO and Parliamentary SACCO. We have an officer who is almost permanently based here from the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Cooperatives who is at the level of former Provincial Cooperative Officer or District Cooperative Officer. Cooperatives are devolved now. They are at county, national level and international level. We work with a Government officer. Therefore, all people elected to take care of this money should comply with certain specifications of having good conduct as contained in Chapter Six of the Constitution. We have Ethics Commission for Cooperative Societies (ECCOS) which does not have proper legal structures. These are some of the things we should do to strengthen the cooperative movement, so that the character of people who are elected to lead a SACCO is checked to make sure that they qualify. There are very many cooperatives in the country ranging from coffee and tea SACCOs. All of them comprise of people who pool resources, bring them together and then they become powerful. When weak people come together, they become very strong. They are able to educate their children."
