Chairperson of Kebisoni Sacco Rev Fr Emmanuel Safari addressing the shareholders

Kebisoni Sacco Ltd shareholders have been asked to increase their shareholding funding in order to strengthen the financial institutions and make it one of the model Saccos in the country. 

The call was made by the Chairperson of Kebisoni Sacco who is also the Chairperson of Uganda Cooperative Alliance Rev Fr Emmanuel Safari while addressing the Pre AGM meeting for Kebisoni Zone at Kebisoni Town Council Playgrounds in Rukungiri District.

Kebisoni Sacco which was started 25 years ago had a total membership of 11,487 members as of December 31st 2025 and it has been operating largely on the share capital and savings from members.

Rev Fr Safari was therfore arguing the shareholders to increase their shares by ensuring that each member cab at least have more than 5 shares so thatd the Sacco has a solid base to operate.

Due to the increased numbers, Kebisoni Sacco has adopted the system of having delegates to represent their members and during this week the Sacco management conducted pre AGM meetings in the respective Zones of Mabanga, Nyamunuka, Rukungiri and Kebisoni to elect delegates who will attend the Annual General Meeting at a date to be announced. 

The event was also used to sensitise the Sacco members on the best agricultural and group formation practices so that they can have higher harvests that will boost their incomes leading to increased savings with their Sacco.

The Sacco General Manager Ms Ainembabazi Advin told the shareholders that the Sacco has successfully completed the formation exercise of delegates from the respective Zones and those elected will be the voice of others at the Annual General Meeting.
