KINATWA SACCO MEMBERS MOVE TO KICK OUT CHAIRMAN, THREE TOP OFFICIALS

Four senior officials face mounting pressure as members demand their immediate removal from office over alleged mismanagement, corruption and intimidation.The leadership of Kinatwa SACCO is facing a major revolt after members moved to kick out Chairman Amos Mutemi Wambua and three other senior officials, demanding their immediate suspension pending the conclusion of an ongoing inquiry into the institution’s management.In a strongly worded letter delivered to the Ministry of Cooperatives and the Kitui County Government, the members have demanded that the four officials immediately relinquish their executive authority.Those targeted in the move are Chairman Amos Mutemi Wambua, Vice Chairman Fredrick Kithongo Nzilu, Secretary John Bosco Musyoka Muutu and Treasurer Omulo Dancan Omulo.The members accuse the leadership of presiding over alleged financial impropriety, intimidation of dissenting voices and attempts to victimise individuals raising concerns about the running of the SACCO.They have also raised alarm over the alleged risk of SACCO properties, including the stage terminus, offices and other facilities, being transferred, disposed of or appropriated for the benefit of private entities.Teshlee Funeral Services is among the private entities specifically mentioned in the members’ concerns.The members insist that the four officials cannot continue exercising executive authority while investigations into the SACCO’s affairs are ongoing, arguing that their continued presence could undermine the credibility and independence of the inquiry.They are demanding an immediate leadership shake-up, followed by a Special General Meeting and the establishment of interim management arrangements to safeguard the SACCO’s operations and assets.In what signals an increasingly bitter showdown, the members have issued a 24-hour ultimatum to the relevant authorities, warning that failure to act will trigger peaceful demonstrations.The latest revolt marks a major escalation in the dispute, with members appearing determined to force accountability and reclaim control of an institution whose management they say has lost their confidence.
