MIBC is a new venture led by a team of Directors who are mostly professionals, have a passion for the ideals of cooperatives and have the desire to help the community. The Government is committed to assist the co-operative movement to play a role in the economic development of the country. Licences, permits, investment opportunities and loans at low interests rates are provided to  co-operative organisations. These are some of the goods and services the community will lose out if we do not take advantage of the opportunities provided. To make out a strong case for such privileges, it is imperative that we increase our membership base. On behalf of the MIBC,  I appeal to members of the community to support us in our cause to assist the community.
