Dear Kimisho Members and Friends,
I am back in Kenya after an extensive visit to Tanzania and South Africa in the last couple of days. I am elated with the many messages of goodwill that I have also received following my brief hospitalization last week. I am well and now, I am back to the trenches.
Yesterday was a very important day in the life of Kimisho. We received our Certificate of Registration for Kimisho Sacco Society Ltd. We are now set and ready to roll.
An Officer at the Office of the Commissioner for Cooperatives hands over the Certificate of Registration for Kimisho Sacco Society Ltd to Oto yesterday the 9th July 2013 at the Offices of the Commissioner.
Yesterday, we also had a very fruitful Consultative Forum with the Deputy County Commissioner Makadara and his Team as we rolled out our mobilization process for the launch of Makadara Constituency Table Banking Services, an Initiative of Kimisho, the Poverty Eradication Commission, the County Administration and the People. We are rolling out in 34 Constituencies across Kenya and we are really appreciative of all the support we are receiving from our Members, Partners and Friends.

The Forum was attended by the Deputy County Commissioner, the Assistant County Commissioners, the area Chiefs and the Traders and Small Scale Business Vendors.
Now that KCDN and KSSL are duly Registered, our Management Team will be meeting to call for our 1st Annual General Meeting even as we officially launch our recruitment drive for Membership this Month.
KCDN and KSSL Membership is open to all and we will be pegged on Three Pillars namely;
We will be seeking partnerships that can help drive our agenda from all. Ideas and comments that add value will be appreciated. But ideas and comments that are pedestrian will be ignored as we move to make Kimisho the next big thing in this Journey of Hope across Kenya.
Lastly, I was really impressed with the roads in Tanzania. From Namanga to Arusha to Makuyuni to Karatu, I never saw even a single pot-hole. Again, all their drainage systems are clean and you can see through the tunnels as far as the eye can see.
Can our Kenyan Brothers and Sisters tasked with making roads make a visit and see how roads and drainage systems are made- in Arusha?
It is a crying shame that we profess much knowledge yet, we cannot match what our Brothers and Sisters are achieving in Tanzania. We have a long way to go as long as we remain a Talking Nation.
We must move from Talking to Tasking as a People.
