Ushuru Sacco Membership Eligibility & Requirements

This article focuses on Ushuru Sacco membership eligibility and requirements. Ushuru Sacco was formed in 1970 by employees of the then Customs & Excise Department, Ministry of Finance, under the name of Customs & Excise Workers (CUEW) Sacco.

When Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) was formed in 1995, CUEW Sacco also changed its name in 2002 to Ushuru Sacco, to reflect the new will of inclusive membership consisting of KRA and other public and private institutions.
