Co-operatives get more autonomy in draft law

R: Alice Kosgei, CEO Kenya Highlands Sacco and Director Co-operatives Banking Division at Co-operative Bank Vincent Marangu in discussion with Mr. Ali Noor Ismail, Principal Secretary State Department of Co-operatives.

The co-operative movement is set for more autonomy as a new draft law gives the industry leeway for self-regulation.

If the draft Cooperative Development Policy passes into law, the Government will only be involved in the affairs of co-operative societies if unique circumstances arise.
