Court halts State plan to replace direct Sacco member votes
In the main petition, Tower Sacco wants the court to declare the government's circular unconstitutional, quash it together with the Commissioner's enforcement letter, and permanently bar authorities from enforcing either against the society.
The High Court in Nyahururu has suspended enforcement of a government directive requiring large savings and credit cooperatives (Saccos) to replace their general membership voting model with a delegate system.
The court issued the order following an application by Tower Sacco, which sued, arguing the directive unlawfully interferes with its governance, by-laws and members' right to participate directly in the society's affairs.
