Any different suggestion please?!

Kibisu Joash: My thought too.

Baba Kereda: Well said dad ndanyi

Baba Ndanyi: In case you are in agreement with what we are saying, can we agree to belong to all the three entities as individuals and/or as groups, so that when we talk about all the three you are marked as a member, we will also have a committee of not more than 5 people who will act as arbitrators between the three Saniaga entities in case of any dispute or conflict of interest, but without the powers of interference in the running of any of the three Saniaga entities.

George Indiazi: I do concur that we have 3 entities. You can count on my vote.  Indiazi wa Kakamega Town.

Kibisu Joash: Now that we have approved that the status quo is to be maintained then is up to us as individual members to up our shares in the sacco
