Vested interests should not trip KPCU reform

Kenya Planters Co-operative Union (KPCU) is one massive behemoth, with over 300 co-operative societies, representing about 750,000 members. That it is a living example of How-Not-To-Manage an Enterprise for any serious student of economics and management is not debatable.

That it is suffocating under the yoke of a massive Sh600 million-plus bank debt is no secret. And that Kenya Commercial Bank has appointed a receiver-manager to manage the slumbering giant to recover its debt is also in the public domain.
