Only six out of 165 chairpersons of deposit-taking savings and credit cooperative societies (DT-Saccos) in Kenya are women, underlining their marginalisation in the day-to-day decision making functions.
The latest report by the Saccos Regulatory Authority(Sasra) shows that men also dominated all other key positions including vice chairpersons, secretary and treasurer in the saccos which handled deposits amounting to Sh380.4 billion and Sh419.55 billion in loan disbursement as at December 2019.
