Metropolitan National Sacco members have welcomed the high court ruling that stated that commissioner of cooperatives has the power to investigate any Sacco where misappropriation, theft mismanagement and breach of trust by management occur.
Judge Rosyln Abuli indicated that the commissioner of cooperative is permitted by law to carry out the investigation.
The ruling means the Commissioner of Cooperatives should proceed and surcharge the former management and recover monies lost in mismanagement of the Sacco.
The court also struck out the judicial review by former directors indicating that the judicial application by the former board lacks merits.
