Kenya Marine and Fisheries Research Institute (KMFRI) Sacco is set to launch a fully fledged FOSA services outside Mombasa, Sacco Chairman, Rashid Anam (pictured) has said.
“Among our future prospects, we will have a FOSA in a place yet to be identified outside Mombasa. We will also partner with members to start housing projects which will enable the Sacco to acquire an office block to accommodate the Head Office,” he said.
Speaking during the recent 28thAnnual General Meeting (AGM) held in a hotel in Mombasa, he noted that the Sacco was currently in talks with the office of the Director for Cooperatives in Mombasa together with KMFRI Housing Cooperative Society with a view of developing strategies that will help operationalize the intended ventures.
KMFRI was started by a small number of Kenya Marine and Fisheries Research Institute employees over 30 years ago. They organized and mobilized savings towards leaving a social and financial legacy which has endured to date.
