    "content": "Kenyans can be empowered economically. If we have a conversation about the BBI without the economic empowered of our citizens using SACCOs and others sectors, it will not have a necessary impact. Madam Temporary Speaker, I can see the director of Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) elections is smiling. She agrees with me, because she comes from a pastoralist community. We also want livestock to become a source of economic empowerment. We do not only want to be politically and democratic empowered, or have women and youth empowerment; we also want economic empowerment through the agriculture sector. Therefore, we must create a way to ensure that we have strong SACCOs. Madam Temporary Speaker, in the formative years of the country, where you come from, people used to drive brand new Peugeot 504s with zero mileage. This is because at that time, the SACCO sector was working seamlessly and people could get loans within minutes. I agree with Sen. Mwaura that if the Parliamentarians SACCO Society Limited was not there, I do not know how Members would survive. You and I know that it is our lifeline. If we can make SACCOs work, the way the Parliamentarians SACCO Society Limited works, we would revolutionize Kenyans."
