LADIES AND GENTLEMEN

 

LET ME TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO WELCOME YOU ALL TO THE OFFICIAL LAUNCH OF THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY SAVINGS AND CREDIT CO-OPERATIVE (NAZ SACCO).

 

IT GIVES ME PLEASURE THAT FINALLY THE NAZ SACCO IS BEING LAUNCHED TODAY, 30^TH JUNE,2021 AFTER A LOT OF WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE IN THE BACKGROUND. I MUST HASTEN TO INDICATE THAT EVERYTHING REMAINING CONSTANT, THE NAZ SACCO SHOULD HAVE BEEN LAUNCHED MUCH EARLIER, FOLLOWING ITS REGISTRATION ON 14^TH FEBRUARY, 2021. HOWEVER, THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC SOMEWHAT AFFECTED THE PLANS THAT WERE INITIALLY MADE.

 

DISTINGUISHED LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, I WILL BE FAILING IN MY DUTIES IF I DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE THAT HAVE MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR THIS EVENT TO BE A SUCCESS UNDER VERY CHALLENGING CIRCUMSTANCES.

 

FIRSTLY, I WISH TO EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE TO THE CLERK OF THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY AND PATRON FOR NAZ SACCO FOR THE SUPPORT AND GUIDANCE RENDERED TO THE INTERIM BOARD WITH SPECIFIC TIMEFROMES AND THAT WERE GIVEN. MADAM, YOUR IMMENSE DESIRE TO SEE YOUR STAFF OUT OF DESTITUTION AND INDEBTEDNESS IS ADMIRABLE.

ALLOW ME ALSO TO THANK THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SAVINGS AND CREDIT UNION (NASCU), WHICH IS THE APEX BODY WHICH REGULATES SACCOs COUNTRYWIDE, FOR THE TECHNICAL SUPPORT RENDERED DURING THE REGISTRATION PROCESS FOR THE SACCO. YOUR SUPPORT IS APPRECIATED.  

 

LASTLY, LET ME THANK THE INTERIM BOARD FOR NAZ SACCO LED BY MR SAGE SAMUWIKA, OUR INTERIM GENERAL MANAGER FOR YOUR INVALUABLE COMMITMENT TOWARDS ACHIEVING IMPORTANT TASK. 

IN CONCLUSION, LET ME TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO URGE ALL STAFF OF THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS INITIATIVE BY REGISTERING IN NUMBERS. GIVEN THE CHALLENGES OF THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC, THE REGISTRATION PROCESS CAN BE DONE BOTH PHYSICALLY AND ONLINE.

I THANK YOU ALL AND MAY GOD BLESS
