The channels, she said include social media platforms such as Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram.

I call upon the Sacco management to go extra mile to recruitment new members to the Sacco”, said the CEC.
Mutai further congratulated the Sacco for embracing technology through the introduction of ‘M-noble’ M-sacco saying this will attract more members.
“The County Government appreciates the role Saccos play in our county and that is why Governor Jackson Mandago specifically created a Ministry meant for Co-operatives”, she added.
