Matiang’i:’We are hot on the trail of Ekeza officials’

Interior Cabinet Secretary Matiang’i while addressing Police Sacco delegates on Wednesday in Nairobi during their annual meeting has issued stern warning to sacco thieves.

The CS called upon the disciplined officers to join Saccos for their own benefit.

“One way in which we are going to support co-operative movements is to punish and bring to book those who misuse the Sacco resources. We will go after these people. We are hot on the trail of the Ekeza officials and others,” Matiang’i said.

He said they will not spare any individual involved in the loss of Sacco funds.

His remarks come as Ekeza Savings and Credit Cooperative Society is on the verge of collapsing because of managerial issues. Members are demanding their cash back.

The sacco’s license was cancelled and it was placed under receivership by the government last year over non-compliance with the law.

Bishop David Kariuki Ngari, commonly known as also revealed that he had put up some of his prime properties in Nairobi, Kiambu and Murang’a counties for sale to raise cash needed for the refunds.

Members of the sacco have been camping at the sacco offices in Nairobi and other towns, demanding a refund of the money they had saved in the sacco.
