I have seen this ad regarding this new Muranga Investment Cooperative society being championed by the Governor of Muranga Mwangi wa Iria. Does anyone have more info about it or could it be another ponzi? Their website

My neighbor has already applied, and keeps telling me to join. From their website, I see they have support from Deloitte, Coop and Equity Banks. I wish they would put up the names of the Board/Managers, a strategic and/or governance plan of some sort, considering this is Kenya and the governor may or may not make it in the next election.

Im already a member though I have invested negligible funds because the risks in this thing are immeasurable! Anyhow I have seen too many of these things explode and create fortunes to let another pass me by! Don't put your life savings though.. Mark 12:29

Please help. @Am its more of an investment society rather than a SACCO which lends deposits back to customers... Here investors deposits will be used for infrastructure development... Their offices are at the County Government HQ but more are likely to be rolled out after the fund grows... Cell: +254 722 135052 or +254 722 135032 E-mail: info@murangainvestmentscoop.co.keMark 12:29

Currently sitting on the fence but i will join (i) as soon as they make their board members public or (ii) after they have held their AGM and i have the director/chaiman report on their way forward.

Thanks  As I alluded in my earlier post, I would have also liked to see the Management Board/governance structure as well as the strategic plan/report before I make any move. But as guru has done, it wouldn't hurt to put it in negligible funds How is FEP doing?

FEP is doing fine, You are welcome for annual investment dinner on Friday (13.12.2013) at Laico regency and you will get to learn all about what is going on. By the way, The structure for the sagana hotel is almost done and the chinese will be relocating to Lukenya to construct a club house in 2014. Currently the hashtag is #join the movement another project with its roots in MURANGA. One and only UNAITAS. History will not remember you for your IQ.

I have read in today's paper that the fund will be managed by deloitte to allow accountability. But as you say, it requires more disclosure, given that a governor is on power just for 5 years, or at most 10 years, what happens to the coop society in case the incoming governor is not for it? Who are the Board members? What are the by-laws?

Mwangi would stop holding back as it appears there is interest but very little info is in public domain.
