KUSCCO Faces Scandal and Raid as Kenya's Organized Crime Ranking Rises

Kenya has been ranked as the fourth most criminal country in Africa according to a new organized crime index, which highlights a surge in "wash-wash" activities. A recent KTN News report also noted a disturbing trend regarding gold scammers operating in the country. Amid these concerns, a new Chief Executive Officer has been appointed at Kuscco as the government intervenes in a Sh13.3 billion scandal at the union. In a separate event, operations at the Kenya Union of Savings and Credit Co-operatives (KUSCCO) were disrupted on Thursday. This occurred after auctioneers raided their offices over a KSh 108.8 million debt.
