Muka Mukuu Farmers’ Cooperative Society members have been urged not to sell their shares as the Society’s fortunes have improved and are recovering steadily.
Speaking while addressing them during their Annual General Meeting (AGM) at the Society’s grounds along Tala-Thika road, Chairman Dominic Nthwao said that they had revived stalled projects and there were others in the pipeline.
“We have passed many resolutions today including the continuation of the stone harvesting project. We ask members not to sell their shares as that would be like selling their children’s inheritance,” he said.
Nthwao also asked members to desist from taking internal conflicts to Court and instead resolve the disputes through the Society’s arbitration committee.
He noted that the Matungulu-based Society had been on its deathbed for a long time but was currently embarking on various recovery strategies after a comprehensive audit of its assets.
The Chairman said that strategies put in place include leasing out part of their land for stone harvesting, leasing the coffee farm to Delmonte Company to revive the society’s core business of coffee farming, and having the management committee arbitrate on internal disputes so as to minimize expenditure on litigation.
