dc.description.abstract | This study aimed at establishing whether there existed any benefit or erosion of wealth in
demerging co-operative societies in Thika, Maragwa and Murang'a Districts of Central
Kenya. The practise had spread like a bush tire despite the advise the societies were
given by Govemment and professionals. In the contrary worldwide merger of institutions
and nations into economic blocks had proved optimal.
To achieve the objective, the researcher set out to establish reasons given for their action
by perusing through minutes and reports produced by the members at their Annual
General Meetings, liquidation reports and audited financial statements 2 years before and
after the split.
A population of 12 societies in each category of merged and demerged society was
established out of which 6 of each group was sampled. To avoid biasness the smallest
and the largest in each district was picked.
The information was then presented in tables, bar charts and line graph before being
statistically analysed.
The study concluded that in almost every aspect, from cost savings, higher sales and even
payment to members, there was no advantage in splitting the societies. | en |
