• 17 Feb 2021 in Senate: because we have to see ways of encouraging our famers. If they are not farming, we have to give them an alternative means. There is need for the Ministry of Interior and Co-ordination of National Government to come up with mechanisms that will ensure that the farmers who are not planting during this time have another way of surviving. If they are idle and their families are not taken care of, they are likely to get into behaviours that are undesirable. Madam Deputy Speaker, we also need to know that farming is a source of employment and income. Let us ... view
• 17 Feb 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support this Bill by Sen. (Dr.) Zani. It has to come out clearly that co- operatives have a major role to play in the society in terms of creating employment and helping the members to invest and do big projects. As an individual, sometimes it might be difficult to do a project solely. However, if one joins a co-operative that is functional, stable and focused, then they are likely to have a lifetime investment. view
• 17 Feb 2021 in Senate: This Bill is important because it will help members do investments during their hay days. When they flash back, they could say that they never wasted their days and money because of a certain co-operative that enabled them do some projects. view
• 17 Feb 2021 in Senate: It is a good idea that Sen. (Dr.) Zani came up with these amendments. This is because the Co-operative Societies Act was there before the Constitution 2010. That means that they did not consider the aspect of devolution. Now Kenya has 47 counties and everything has to work. We are here to represent counties and their interests and see that counties are working for the people of this country. It is paramount to have an amendment that will ensure that the national and county governments have a responsibility in ensuring that co- operatives work in order for the common man ... view
• 17 Feb 2021 in Senate: I support the insertion of Clause 2(a). This will ensure equality and non- discrimination when it comes to co-operatives. Anyone can join a co-operative regardless of their political party. That means that co-operatives will not be inclined to any party. They will be there to serve all Kenyans interested in joining co-operatives. view
• 17 Feb 2021 in Senate: Ensuring voluntary membership is also very important so that one joins a co- operative when they decide to become a member. That will ensure members are active in The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 17 Feb 2021 in Senate: co-operatives. With the insertion of Clause 2(a), then co-operatives will be concerned about the members of the community and the needs of the people. In fact, there should be a Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) analysis to find out the reason for setting up a co-operative within a certain community. If there is a SWOT analysis and the co-operative gets the buy-in of a community, it can survive and stand the test of time because it will be serving the people. That windfall is important when it comes to any business to thrive in any environment. An enabling environment ... view
• 17 Feb 2021 in Senate: Inclusion of training programmes is also important. This is because some people join co-operatives without knowing the nitty-gritties. After some time, they realise they are in a pyramid scheme. There are times when pyramid schemes have acted like co-operatives. After swindling money, it is when people realise that it was not a co-operative society but just a pyramid scheme. This Bill will ensure that the county and national governments are aware of the co-operatives because they will be in the national and counties’ registers. That will ensure transparency. It will also ensure that the money of those who join is ... view
• 17 Feb 2021 in Senate: Apart from that, the fact that the national and county governments will be involved, then the liquidation shock may not be there for the members because there will be scrutiny to ensure that co-operatives are registered. view
• 17 Feb 2021 in Senate: Sen. (Dr.) Zani has also proposed a prerequisite for registration, which is something good. Before people register, they must have certain information. If they do not have the information, then it means the co-operative society cannot be registered. That will also help in locking out some people who come up with ‘co-operatives’ only to swindle members’ money. Once they do that, the co-operatives are closed. view
