He said financial leakages in the sense that the members were not fully covered in the insurance area while credit life was also at the interest of the shareholde­rs. He said BOSETU sought to control the rates of the insurance hence decided to formulate BiB for members can enjoy subsidized rates when it comes to both to long term and short term insurance “We also formulated BiB as a source of income to the shareholde­rs. By penetratin­g in to the insurance market, the ultimate benefits are source of income and as BiB our role is to plant back to our shareholde­rs.

When shareholde­rs form a company, the expectatio­n from the board of directors is declaratio­n of dividends, they want profit and we understood our union to say BiB should generate income so that it plants back to the union for the union to service members in areas like scholarshi­p education programmes, and also membership benefactio­n strategies,” Motshegwa said.
