The retired Amb. Of Uganda to Australia and NewZealand, Amb. Enoch Nkuruho has given Can. Joram Tibasiima Ruranga acting chairman of Igara ranchers cooperative union seven days beginning from Monday 22, June 20120 to June 29, 2020 to call a general meeting of members of the cooperative union or faces court.

Amb. Nkuruho described Can. Joram Tibasiima Ruranga the acting chairman of Igara ranchers’ cooperative union as self and not formal.

Amb. Nkuruho in his intention to sue Tibasiima and his executive demanded for accountability of the monies most especially from Igara ranchers hall which has been rented by Bell breweries for now 16 years.

www.mknewslink.com managing editor also interviewed the accused Anglican canon, Joram Tibasiima Ruranga yesterday afternoon.

Can. Tibasiima who is seasoned politician and educationist noted that what Amb. Nkuruho is rising are valid points and will be respected.

“We were preparing for a general meeting in March 2020 but COVID 19 pandemic disturbed us however we shall still have a general meeting” Can Tibasiima told www.mknewslink.com editor.

Igara ranchers cooperative union is a very old union whose members lost coordination and eventually a few members started benefiting from the assets that had already been acquired like Igara Hall.

Bell breweries have been renting Igara Hall since 2004 and the accountability of the money can’t be traced.

The late Can. Bisigire took charge of the hall and collected all the money but never accounted for it to members.
