(Dr) John K. Mutunga","speaker":null,"content":" Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to the Co-operatives Bill, (National Assembly Bill No. 7 of 2024). I wish to thank the Committee for a job very well done. I am not a member of this Committee, but co-operatives are dear to me as a Member of Parliament and Member of the Departmental Committee on Agriculture and Livestock. Most co-operatives in this country are in the agricultural sector. Therefore, we have been looking forward to this Bill. It is dealing with the mischief in co-operatives management and ordering steps to be taken so as to better the many extensive co-operatives in this country. Also, how to resolve the existential problems in co-operatives. This Bill is speaking to a number of issues and I wish to point out some of them so that the Committee can look into them before the Third Reading. Co-operatives exist in many sectors. Initially, they were functioning extremely well but, later on, something happened to the co-operative movement leading to the collapse of co- operatives in the agricultural sector. There was terrible mismanagement in some cases. Therefore, this legislation will help us manage co-operatives better. The Co-operative Societies Act of 2014 tackled a number of major issues that impeded the performance of co-operatives then. This Bill will polish the expectations in this sector and these efforts are very well lauded."},{"id":1497210,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1497210/?format=json","text_counter":205,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Tigania West, UDA","speaker_title":"Hon.
