I have been a member of a deposit taking sacco for many years and was recently surprised to learn that we have a silent life cover payable to beneficiaries upon our passing on. Why is this safety net silent and how are the benefits activated?

According to Sacco Societies Regulatory Authority, there are 176 licensed Deposit-taking Saccos in Kenya as of March 2024.
