Boda Boda Operators told to have Saccos that can be of great benefit

The Boda Boda Operators in Kisumu County have been asked to have Savings and Credit Cooperative Societies which can be of great help to them.

President of Mwalimu James Japheth Mwamu Foundation says this is one of the best ways where savings can be done for future use.

Addressing the Boda Boda Operators from Kisumu East Constituency where the Foundation donated Reflector Jackets, Hand sanitizers and face masks to them, the Foundation’s President Lawyer James Aggrey Mwamu says through Cooperative Societies, the operators can form a formidable team which can up with meaningful development.

Mwamu says their livelihoods will also change once in such Saccos because they will be able to borrow loans on a small interests for their businesses.

“A number of Boda Boda riders across the country have embarked on this and have become successful and the same can be replicated in our regions here in Nyanza,” Mwamu says.

He says the foundation is out to advise the Boda Boda operators to speak in one voice and embark on development through saccos.

Mwamu at the same time urged the Boda Boda Operators to ensure that they fully adhere to the Covid-19 disease protocols, adding that the third wave of Corona Virus is serious indeed.

He assures the operators that the foundation will continue to provide sanitizers, reflector jackets and face masks.

A retired Traffic Police  Officer who also attended the meeting urged the operators to always observe traffic rules and regulations at all times so as not to get arrested for traffic offenses.
