Who We Are
Background Information
The genesis of County Sacco is traced to 13/02/1991 when it was registered by the commissioner for cooperatives development under the cooperatives societies Act cap 490 under the name Rukuriri Tea Growers Savings and Credit Co-operative Society Ltd.
The Sacco was registered in order to serve tea farmers whose tea proceeds were marketed by Rukuriri Tea Factory and other tea factories such as Mungania and Kathangariri tea factory. The society is located on the slopes of Mt. Kenya, some 170 Kms from Nairobi in Embu East Sub-County.
The society has since rebranded to County Sacco which literally means an ambitious Sacco with a strategic focus in all counties in Kenya.
County Sacco was licensed to undertake savings and credit business in 2011and it was licensed by Sacco Services Regulatory Authority (SASRA) to take deposits from the general public. County Sacco derives its mandate from the Co-operative Societies Act, 2004 and the Sacco By-laws.
Corporate and Leadership Structure
County Sacco is structured in a model of corporate governance. Our structure stems from the members and shareholders who transact their mandate in Annual General Meeting (AGM). The members and shareholders entrust the role of offering strategic direction of the organization to the Board of Directors (BOD). The BOD works through various committees including the Executive committee and the Supervisory Committee. The BOD appoints and supervises the Chief Executive Officer (CEO). The CEO manages the organization on a daily basis through a team of management and other staff.
