The Zambia National Assembly acting deputy clerk (Administration), Loveness Mayaka, during the same meeting thanked Bunge SACCO for according their SACCO an opportunity to learn from the Kenyan experiences, especially that Bunge SACCO is one of the SACCOs with a proven track record in the region, with over 52 years experience.
