PROCESS OF MEMBERSHIP

The society uses the check off system for payment of members’ shares and loans.

Minimum share contribution is Ksh. 5,000.

The members are also at liberty to withdraw from the society as and when they wish to. The withdrawal can be due to death, willful resignation, or retirement.
