The Commissioner observed that co-operative societies liberalised economic activities, adding that the growth of Saccos in Kenya stood to benefit from President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Big Four agenda.

He acknowledged members and delegates who endorsed the construction of Marigat Plaza during the well attended educational meetings in a bid to tap the business potential in the fast growing Sub County of Baringo County.
“Marigat is a business town with huge business potential hence I called upon the management to move with speed by identifying the financier to construct the multi million project,” added the Governor.
The Chief Executive Officer Moses Chebor said that Sacco’s presently operate in rapidly changing environment with market trends and dynamics changing fast due to competition, legislation, standards and the ever changing technology.
