The public has until 5:00 p.m. on April 24, 2026, to submit their views on the proposed Sacco Societies (Amendment) Bill, No. 32 of 2025.
The National Assembly, in a notice issued on April 10, invited citizens, stakeholders, and organizations to present their views in line with Article 118 of the Constitution of Kenya 2010, which requires public participation in legislative processes.
The proposed amendments are expected to address key areas including governance, regulatory compliance, protection of member savings, adoption of digital financial services, and risk management within Sacco institutions.
The Sacco sector plays a significant role in promoting financial inclusion across Kenya, particularly among underserved communities. As a result, any legal changes could have wide-reaching effects on operations, member benefits, and overall sector stability.
