Today, the management of TVET institutions cannot trace where the teachers are or which teachers are working and how to discipline them. So, there is a gap on how the teachers are being managed. I support this Petition because we need to have a proper law that will make strong TVET institutions which will manage the teachers the same way teachers are managed at the TSC.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to comment on this Bill. I end up speaking with my second voice, which is very low and reasonable.

I thank the Chairman, whom I also consulted yesterday and today. He assured me that this is not part of the many small legislations that are coming with interests that are not for the cooperative movement. Indeed, I have confirmed that.

The cooperative movement is very important for teachers, civil servants and farmers like Hon. Kioni. Hon. Kioni, for many years, as we grew up, we admired the cooperative movement in your area of interest but later on, it collapsed. We do not know what happened.

Having looked at this Bill, I notice it is dealing with more of procedural issues. One of the amendments is dealing with introduction of ICT, which I fully support because it will enhance operational efficiency and boost returns. It will also ensure that cooperative societies work well. I come from the background of the teachers SACCOs, which are the biggest in the country. Today there are many other small SACCOs such as Boda boda SACCOs and matatu SACCOs. I hope in introducing ICT systems in filing reports and submitting returns, we shall not disadvantage the young upcoming SACCOs that are ...

Hon. Speaker, there was the issue of the Auditor-General and the Controller of Budget which was well touched by the Mover of the Motion. So, it is a good Bill for the cooperatives and so I support it.
