The Saccos regulator is seeking changes to the current law to provide a framework for appointing trustees to oversee a Deposit Guarantee Fund (DGF) to protect savers from losses on their over Sh600 billion deposits.

Treasury Cabinet Secretary Njuguna Ndung’u said Thursday the Sacco Societies Regulatory Authority (Sasra) is proposing an amendment to the Sacco Societies Act, 2008, that will, for the first time, help protect depositors from losses.
