1.2 THE SOJOURN

From July 1973, the first Management Committee set our its major objectives as that of solidifying the Society’s base through education to increase membership, instill faith in members and offer efficient services to the general membership. The bond between the members was that they were all employees of the Ministry of Health. The Management Committee set to ensure that every member had equal opportunity in the Society. However, in its early years of operation, the Society lacked clear- cut Management policies, procedures and direction.

In 1984, the Commissioner for Co-operative Development dissolved the Management Committee and appointed a Management Commission to run the Society’s affairs for one year. The Management Commission revived the Society by setting up sound administrative lending and financial management policies and procedures. The Management of the Society affairs reverted back to its members in 1985 with election of a new Management Committee. Since then, the Society has grown in leaps and bounds and now ranks among tremendous growth and earned itself a place in the Sacco fraternity in the country as a leading Co-operative organization

The Society is currently poised for further growth in the new 21st century and has already laid our strategies for growth. The ability of the Society to continue to grow is dependant on members’ confidence and support coupled with the responsiveness of the leaders and commitment of the workers.
