On a serious note

Ndanyi Saniaga: Now on a serious note, we have not agreed yet on modalities of forming a Sacco, we have to urge members to register by paying their membership fees, we are in the process of registering; but, Patrick was tasked to convince 100+ members who can manage 1k each to invest in something as a starting point, anybody for the idea?

Govedi Muzami: We start with the 500 bob  and scale up with the serious members for the K.....ooops will be sending my membership kesho

Martin Kidiavai: On the basis of my knowledge about forming a sacco we need time and proper structures...We are at what I may refer to as CRAWLING STAGE

Fanuel Saniaga: People who are serious should register and move forward....hii mambo ya time time haileti shangwe...pay,register now,and lets move to the next step...tuta need time mpaka lini and people are not registering!

Duo ‬: As a proffesional in the banking field, Sacco aint something we can wake up and start but with a good vision we can take bay steps and get there....

Ndanyi Saniaga: Then please as a sign of good will let's be on the front line, I will send my 1k to the treasurer by Monday next week, let's give the money first, we have several good options and we hope this will give us a starting point, the treasurer being the custodian of Saniaga funds is tasked with prudence of safeguarding members' funds and investments.
