State House Comptroller Calls for Transparency among Leaders for success of their SACCOs


The State House Comptroller Ms. Jane Barekye, has cautioned leaders against bad management skills and luck of accountability for public funds and warned that any person who will misappropriate the funds will be arrested and prosecuted. 

Ms. Jane Barekye, made the call over the weekend in Kibuku district during a skills training for leaders from Bukedi, Busoga, and Bugisu sub-regions at the Bukedi Zonal Presidential Industrial Skilling Hub who included SACCO leaders, commercial officers, district leaders, and members of the youth and women leagues. 

The training was aimed at guiding leaders on the proper management and accountability of the SACCO funds disbursed by President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni to support the beneficiaries of the Zonal Presidential Industrial Skilling Hubs to set-up businesses after the six months skills training. 

While addressing the trainees, Ms. Barekye emphasized transparency, teamwork, and the need for leaders to monitor the progress of initiative in their respective areas to ensure the funds achieve their intended purpose of transforming livelihoods. 

 “SACCO leaders, please be honest. Your offices are going to be busy but don't first divide this money amongst yourselves, you are leaders, and I know most of you are doing well compared to the rest, so first consider those who have no capital,” she added. 

Ms. Barekye also noted that the President’s vision is to see every trainee engaged in productive work after being trained in different skills at the industrial hubs. “There are some people who have skills but have no capital, now the President has empowered you, utilize the money well,” she urged.

Recently, President Museveni injected Shs8.8 billion to SACCOs under the Skilling hubs with an intention of empowering the beneficiaries with start-up capital. 


Each SACCO received Shs50 million. She also appealed to the SACCO leaders and government officials like the Resident District Commissioners (RDCs) to do due diligence and ensure that the loans benefit the intended parties.
