Cooperative societies want autonomy

He however noted that many cooperative societies continue to be liquidated and placed under the care and leadership of the department of cooperatives under the Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry.

 “Our belief is that with the support, guidance and leadership of the department, cooperative societies should strive to do well but many societies have been liquidated under their leadership. We therefore, applaud government for coming up with a transformation strategy to encourage cooperative societies to be autonomous,” he said.
