Why This Exists

Kenya's SACCOs and chamas move an enormous share of household savings and credit, yet the rules for forming one, the difference between a registered society and a limited company, and what members are actually entitled to are scattered across the Cooperative Societies Act, SASRA circulars and word of mouth. This server puts that guidance where an AI agent can reach it, in one call.
