On June 23, 2021, Lamu County Cooperative auditor Nickson Baya called on members of Mangrove Cutting Sacco to revive their dormant society and ensure its sustainability.
The Sacco, which used to generate income from the sale of mangrove poles in the region, has been inactive for some time.
Baya urged county residents to cooperate and join Saccos in large numbers, investing heavily to achieve their personal development projects.
He noted that joining Saccos is the key to stability and prosperity, as it enables members to access bigger loans and accomplish their goals.
According to Baya, the monthly and daily wages of residents cannot sustain their projects, making it essential to join Saccos for financial stability.
