If the saccos decide to revolt mwalimu sacco style during the purchase of Equatorial commercial bank;GM will be tarmacking the next day.
But this is Kenya where the majority are used to shafted day in day out
Ericson I think it's a little bit complicated because when you pick a sacco like kahawa sacco,it's one of the major depositors with the bank. The sacco is owned by Mt Kenya farmers who are billionaires from coffee proceeds. So they are old, since they started owning those coffee farms long time. There is no young people owning these farms. So it won't make sense for a father to hand over his farm to his son and he is still alive.you know Africa
So these old time coffee farmers own this old time saccos,which in turn don't understand statements of accounts ,appoint old time boards because they feel safe with them than young ,dangerous vibrant kid who they can't trust their money with.
The bank depends on this old timers for deposits and issue loans .it loves them because they have the mentality of having more savings in millions or shamba.there is no other investment opportunity they may think of. And banks love people with this mentality .more MOney for them to loan out .so it's kinda complicated .
