The CBC, he indicated, will provide better infrastructure, logistics and environment for the employees, and promote the utilisation of technology, and eliminate bureaucracy.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Mr Bholah added that cooperative societies will be able to hold their meetings at the CBC. He stressed that it was crucial to revamp and bring forth a new dynamism in the cooperatives sector so that it is well equipped and prepared to respond to challenges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mauritius.
