BUKEDEA: Teachers in Bukedea district have petitioned their SACCO chairperson Michael Opolot Okipi through the office of the RDC to account for the alleged missing 20 million shillings donation from the Speaker of Parliament Annet Among Anita.
Ms. Anita according reliable information donated 20 million shillings to the teacher’s SACCO while still serving as the Woman Member of Parliament for Bukedea before emerging to the position of the speaker.
In an interview with some of the teachers who preferred anonymity, they say after mismanaging the SACCO funds, the SACCO executives decided to abandon the office.
But Michael Opolot Okipi, the SACCO chairperson has denied the allegations noting that the said the teacher’s SACCO is in progress without any difficulty.
Mr. Okipi also added that the few complaining teachers are even members in the SACCO and their interest was to divide the donated twenty million shillings which the SAACO executive refused.
Hajji Imran Muluga, the RDC Bukedea has however summoned the SACCO leadership to his office while directing the office of the District Education Officer to conduct fresh election for the SACCO leaders.
