Agriculture CS Hon. Peter Munya has directed the SACCOs Fraud Investigations Unit, to fast-track criminal investigations relating to fraud embezzlement and other criminal conducts within the SACCO subsector, recommending criminal prosecutions where criminal culpability is proved.

CS Munya was speaking at Safari Park Hotel, where he issued authorization certificates to 25 Non- Withdrawable Deposit taking SACCOs which are fully compliant with the SACCO Societies Act and the Regulations 2020.

CS Munya said that the government shall take a firm action against persons or SACCOS, which for selfish personal gains choose treacherous paths to operate outside law.

He has appealed to the Members of the public to desist from undertaking SACCO business with unregulated entities.
