Conduct
The following shall guide the conduct of SACCO employees:

(i) Employees are required to perform their duties with diligence and loyalty, to obey implicitly the lawful directions of their superiors and to treat the public and their colleagues with civility and courtesy.
(ii) Any employee in position of authority is expected to use such authority as a trust, influence and example and to maintain a high standard of duty and conduct.
(iii) An employee of the SACCO is expected to conduct him/herself both in public and in private, in such a way that does not bring the SACCO into disrepute. It may constitute sufficient grounds for disciplinary action if an employee’s conduct in office or after office hours is deemed to be an embarrassment to the SACCO.
(iv) All employees are expected to be neat in terms of appearance. Proper dress shall be considered to be clean and decently-fitting office attire that reflects the professional nature of the employee’s position.

(vi) An employee who, in the course of his/her job is called upon to deal with any matter in which his/her spouse has or may have a personal interest, shall immediately disclose such interest to his/her immediate supervisor.
(vii) No employee shall, without express permission from the Chairperson of the Board contribute articles to any newspaper, journal or magazine or contribute to the press any matter the subject of which has relevance to his work, in his capacity as an employee of the SACCO.
