The State has directed 247 savings and credit cooperative societies (saccos) to cut dividends and write off or set aside funds to cover for expected losses linked to the multi-billion shilling fraud at Kenya Union of Savings & Credit Co-operatives (Kuscco).

The directive is expected to guide the saccos in the coming weeks as they host annual general meetings, which approve dividends, provisions and write-offs.
