Transafrica Medical Supplies and KMA SACCO Sign MoU to Finance Dental Equipment for Members
NAIROBI, Kenya, 16 October 2026 – Transafrica Medical Supplies Limited, a Kenyan-owned, authorized distributor of dental equipment and consumables, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with KMA Regulated Non-WDT SACCO Society Ltd (KMA SACCO). Under the agreement, eligible KMA SACCO members can buy dental equipment from Transafrica with a SACCO loan. KMA SACCO pays Transafrica directly, and members repay on the SACCO’s credit terms.
The MoU was signed in August 2026 by Dr. Joseph Mutahi Gakonyo, Chief Executive Officer of Transafrica Medical Supplies, and Evelyn Olunja, Chief Executive Officer of KMA SACCO. It runs for two years and can be renewed.
What the agreement provides
- Direct payment to the supplier: KMA SACCO assesses each member’s eligibility and pays Transafrica directly, based on the signed sale agreement and invoice.
- Member pricing: Transafrica offers KMA SACCO members preferential, discounted pricing that matches the price list shared with the SACCO.
- All-in invoices: taxes, delivery and installation charges are included in the financed invoice.
- Warranty for the full loan: financed equipment carries warranty or service support for at least the loan repayment period, with defective equipment repaired or replaced at no extra cost.
- Quality assurance: all equipment must be new, genuine and compliant with Kenyan regulatory and safety standards.
Why it matters
Upfront capital is one of the biggest barriers for dentists who want to open or upgrade a practice. The partnership gives KMA SACCO members a structured way to get modern dental chairs, imaging systems and sterilisation equipment, repaid on member-friendly SACCO terms rather than commercial equipment finance.
“Our purpose is to connect Kenyan practitioners with world-class equipment and the technical support that keeps it running. With KMA SACCO, members can now pay for that equipment in a structured way, so they can grow their practices and focus on patient care.” – Dr. Joseph Mutahi Gakonyo, CEO, Transafrica Medical Supplies
“This partnership supports our mandate of helping members access financing for professional development, including the equipment they need to serve their patients.” – Evelyn Olunja, CEO, KMA SACCO
