The initiative aims to economically empower garage workers by encouraging savings and reinvestment. Speaking at the launch on Friday, Tayebwa expressed gratitude to His Excellency President Yoweri Museveni for his support in establishing the SACCO.
He urged members to adopt a long-term vision, emphasizing that sustained growth would require commitment and sacrifice.
