    "content": "The members of MUSCO came together to try and join and assist the Government in securing themselves financially. However, from the presentation, it appears that the Government has abandoned them. It is complicit and has joined hands with the people who are trying to create financial insecurity for these cooperators. This is an urgent matter that requires the attention of the Senate. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in Migori County where I come from, we used to have a cooperative society called Sonyaco Housing and Cooperative Society. We also had another cooperative society for farmers called SOC. However, they went under and there was no Government intervention. The ripple effect of poverty and loss of savings by these cooperators is a story that is yet to be told. I support this Petition. The sooner these culprits are brought before us, the better. I hope that Members of the Committee will put hard questions to them and cause them to intervene positively in the lives of members of MUSCO. Those are hardworking Kenyans who are part of this nation and must be secured."
