Mwalimu National 2020 AGM for Nyamira branch soiled.

Sunday the 26th day of January 2020, was set aside by many teachers in Nyamira county to attend the Mwalimu National Sacco AGM. Just as it has been routine in the resent past, the AGMs are poorly organized.
In this year's case the teachers started arriving at the venue as early as 9 am, but by 4pm the activities of the day had not yet started. As members were about to start leaving the venue, the meeting was called to order at about 5pm.
There was no public address system to speak to over 400 teachers, the hall was too small for the teachers, the bread and soda that was planned for the teachers' lunch couldn't feed even one quota of the attendants. Maybe they had planned for a miracle so as the few loaves of bread could feed all the teachers.
Voting for the delegates whose time in office had lapsed was a joke of the day. No voter register, anybody at the venue could just vote. Ballots papers were just being distributed by the roadside.

What followed was a group of individuals who kicked the ballot boxes to mark the end of the day's activities. The uncompleted activities will be rescheduled by the same same officials and the same ballot papers will be used. Same method of identifying members will be used. Nevertheless, we shall expect different results.
The aspirants were left to counting their losses as they prepared to transport there supporters back to their stations.
The question posed by the editor is;
Is it that the MNS is unable conduct organized branch AGM or could it be deliberate for reasons that we are yet to known by members?
It should be noted that MNS is not doing well financially. The dividend paid to the members are on the decline and the acquired spire bank keeps making loses year after year. Such kind of incidents highlight our Sacco in bad light and if the same is allowed to continue, then the teachers who have invested in the Sacco are set to loose.
