Kisii County Commissioner of Co-operatives,Vincent Kenyariri has declared war on corrupt employees of Saccos in the area warning them that the county government will not tolerate Sacco employees who steal members' funds.
Kenyariri challenged the Sacco employees who were not satisfied with their salaries to resign from their positions and seek employment elsewhere instead of stealing members' funds to enrich themselves to the disadvantage of the members.
Addressing delegates of Wakenya Pamoja Sacco on Wednesday afternoon at Gusii Institute of Technology during the Sacco's Annual Delegates Meeting, Kenyariri reminded all Sacco employees that the Government was clear that anybody who steals public funds will be held accountable and will surrender the funds back to the owners.
Kenyariri warned that the government will freeze all the accounts of those Sacco employees who will be found with stolen members' funds and that they will have their ill-gotten wealth seized before being prosecuted for committing economic crimes to the state.
"I am warning all Sacco employees to live within their salaries and stop temptations of stealing members' funds under their watch; if they are not satisfied with their salaries they should resign and seek better paying employment elsewhere," warned Kenyariri.
