NAIROBI, Kenya, May 6 – TNT DT Sacco has cut dividends and share capital payouts for the year ended December 31, 2025, following new regulatory limits and higher provisioning requirements.
The Sacco said the move was triggered by a directive from the Sacco Societies Regulatory Authority (SASRA), which capped returns and required additional provisions on savings linked to Kenya Union of Savings and Credit Co-operatives and related claims.
Returns on member deposits were reduced from 9 percent to 4.5 percent, while dividends on share capital were cut from 11 percent to 5.5 percent.
“The delay in disbursement of the remaining dividends was due to a regulatory directive capping return at 4.5% on deposits and 5.5% on share capital,” the Sacco said.
The adjustments highlight increased scrutiny in the Sacco sector, as regulators tighten controls to address liquidity risks and strengthen financial stability, though the lower payouts are expected to affect member earnings in the short term.
