Unaitas Sacco has opened a new branch in Kigumo, Murang’a County, bringing the total number of its outlets to 32 in the Country.
Speaking during the opening, Unaitas Sacco Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Martin Muhuhu urged financial institutions to show unwavering commitment to meeting their members' evolving needs during the ongoing tough economic times.
Despite the economic challenges, he underscored the need for institutions to remain committed to offering reliable financial services to Kenyans.
Further, he said that financial institutions must find ways to support their members who are contending with the hard economic times affecting Kenyans. The institutions must help members navigate the financial challenges where they can.
“When the people’s purchasing power decreases, people might face challenges especially repaying loans as they may have to prioritize basic needs like food. We know our members won’t be an exception therefore we are ready to support them in all ways possible.”
