FACT vs CONCERN | The SACCO Amendment Bill — Part 3
CONCERN: “Will I lose my SACCO savings?” 😟
This is one of the biggest questions members may have as discussions around the proposed SACCO Amendment Bill continue.
FACT: The proposed Bill provides for the establishment of a Deposit Guarantee Fund to protect eligible SACCO depositors in the event of a SACCO failure. The proposed framework is intended to strengthen member protection and confidence in the SACCO sector.
This means the conversation is not about the government taking ownership of your savings. Rather, the proposed reforms seek to strengthen the systems and safeguards around SACCO deposits.
At Excellent Operations Consultants (EOC), we believe that informed members make stronger cooperatives. Through our Fact vs Concern series, we are breaking down the proposed Bill and addressing the questions that matter to SACCO members and stakeholders.
Stay informed. Understand the facts. Prepare for change.
