Musicians launch Sacco after years of fightingMusicians from central Kenya on Saturday officially launched a sacco after nearly eight years of wrangling.Veteran musicians shared the stage with up-coming artistes as they expressed hopes that the Talented Musicians and Composers (Tamco) Sacco would unite them further. President Uhuru Kenyatta, through Mr Kamanda, gave Sh1 million to support the sacco while Deputy President William Ruto pledged a similar amount. Past attempts to form such a group had flopped owing to infighting between the older musicians and the upcoming artistes.
