By Wilber Muhwezi Kasibante
In Bushenyi—
President Museveni yesterday expressed unhappiness towards the coordinator for Ruharo and Bunyarigi wards presidential projects Jennifer Rutagi after leaders of the area accused her of mismanaging the projects.
The accusation was made by Lozio Nshemereirwe that the coordinator Dr. Jennifer Musoke Rutagi does not deliver things sent through her to the residents of the wards.
Other leaders accused Musoke of being a liar citing out an incident where she deceived the president during Independence celebrations in 2017 that the two wards grow tea which is not true.
The leaders raised their concerns yesterday while meeting the president at St. Kagwa boarding primary school playground.
Lozio revealed to the president that the Ruharo heifer SACCO in which Museveni injected 120 million is no more.
He added that the project collapsed after staff swindled all the money including people’s savings.
Dr. Rutagi in efforts to defend herself tried to submit paperwork to the President to explain how the projects operate but he rejected it on COVID 19 grounds.
Ruharo presidential Project was established in 2004 after Museveni asked leaders during a meeting at state lodge to give him the poorest parish so that he could develop it.
