Govt urged on SACCOS money
The Government should release money in time to support savings and credit cooperative organisations (SACCOs) in the fight against poverty among the communities. State minister for water Betty Bigombe made the appeal while launching Guruguru and Jimo SACCOs in Lamogi sub-county, Amuru district on Sunday. Bigombe handed over certificates of registration to the two SACCO groups. She remarked that sometimes the Government delays to release the money which affects the borrowing and paying back of loans by the members.
