"content": "May 2005, through electronic funds transfers (EFTS) from Co-operative Bank. However, the funds were withdrawn the following day on 5th May 2005 leaving a balance of Ksh64,200 in the account. THAT, the Ksh60,000,000 was withdrawn on 5th May 2005 in five batches, namely‐ 1.Ksh1,000,000 in cash through Cheque No. 00000000022; 2.Ksh5,000,000 through a BCHQ Issued Transfer Debit Cheque; 3.Ksh9,920,251 in TFR, Funds Savings A/C 4154000007; and, 4.Ksh40,000,000 in TFR, Funds Savings A/C 4154000007). THAT, in 2015, the Nandi Teachers SACCO defaulted payment of the loan to the alleged off-shore financial institution, OIKO. As a result, Valley Auctioneers under instructions, undertook to recover the loan through the sale of the property by public auction on 31st March 2015; THAT, during the 31st Annual Delegates Meeting on 22nd April 2015, the then Chairman, Alfred Ng’etuny, gave an undertaking that teachers who were members when the building was purchased in 2000, would be considered and given preference in regard to dividend compensations and ownership of the property; THAT, teachers whose dividends were used to purchase the building have never benefited; and, thereafter, the 1,788 retired teachers later registered a group by the name “Nandi Teachers 2000”; THAT, on 4th August 2016, the Chairman of the Nandi Teachers 2000 wrote a letter to the SACCO Societies Regulatory Authority (SASRA) over the ownership of the said building, who responded in a letter to the Society now known as Trans-elite County/SACCO; THAT, SASRA in response to the letter by the Chairman of the Nandi Teachers 2000 affirmed the ownership and provided a copy of the attached loan secured by the Society in the year 2002, two years after the payment completion and transfer to the Nandi Teachers SACCO Society; THAT, in the year 2021, the retired teachers, through their registered group, filed a case in a cooperative tribunal No.347 of 2021 against Trans-elite County SACCO. However, on 9th December 2021, the case was struck out in Kakamega on the grounds that the teachers were no longer members of the Society; THAT, all the efforts by relevant authorities to have the building revert to the owners have failed to give a satisfactory response and over the years, some members have passed away without benefiting from their savings and investments; and, THAT, the matter presented in this Petition is not pending before any tribunal, court of law, or any constitutional or legal body. Therefore, your humble petitioners pray that the National Assembly, through the Public Petitions Committee; 1. Recommends that investigations be carried out to determine whether the Nandi Teachers SACCO Society officials fraudulently swindled the member’s funds as alleged and if found culpable, the officials be prosecuted; and that the retirees who originally purchased the said building be compensated for the loss; 2. Recommends that the property and building known as Kapsabet Municipality 1181/3705806 be reverted to the founding teacher retirees of the Nandi Teachers SACCO Society; 3. Recommends that the Trans-elite County SACCO Society Ltd be compelled to remit rental collections from the property and building from"
