Bestrock Savings and Credit Cooperative Society Limited is strengthening its governance, empowering its leadership, and positioning itself for sustained growth through an intensive delegate induction programme held in Kitui.
The Sacco brought together 150 delegates for a comprehensive training at the Kitui Multipurpose Development Training Institute, underscoring its commitment to transparency, accountability, and member-driven leadership. The training emphasized compliance with Kenya’s 2010 Constitution and Sacco regulations, key pillars in safeguarding members’ investments and ensuring sustainable operations.
Speaking during the session, Kitui Central District Cooperatives Officer Dennis Muthoka stressed the importance of adherence to Sacco laws and governance frameworks, noting that members remain the supreme authority of the Sacco through their elected delegates.
Delegates were taken through their critical roles as representatives, decision-makers, and communication links between the Sacco and its members. They were urged to actively participate in general meetings, uphold oversight responsibilities, and champion members’ interests at all levels.
The training further highlighted the democratic foundation of cooperative societies, with delegates playing a central role in approving bylaws, influencing decisions, and safeguarding the Sacco’s direction.
Bestrock Sacco Chairman Francis Muli Kithae reaffirmed the institution’s confidence in its delegates, describing them as key drivers of the Sacco’s success and custodians of members’ resources. He emphasised the need for commitment, unity, and professionalism in executing their mandate.

Founded in May 6, 1999, as the Kitui Biashara Savings and Credit Cooperative Society Limited and rebranded in 2013 to Bestrock Savings and Credit Cooperative Society Limited, the Sacco has grown into a strong financial institution serving over 6,200 members across Kitui, Machakos, and Makueni counties, with branches in Mwingi, Mutomo, and Matuu. The Sacco continues to expand its footprint while reinforcing its core mission of empowering members economically.
With a solid governance framework, a growing membership base, and a clear strategic direction, Bestrock Sacco is steadily positioning itself as a trusted financial partner in the Lower Eastern region and beyond.
