Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Internal bickering among leaders of Bukulula Coffee Farmers Cooperative Society Ltd in Kalungu District has paralysed operations of a coffee processing plant for two years .<\/p>\n

The government donated the Shs235m coffee processing plant through the Agriculture Cluster Development Project (ACDP) to enable them add value to their produce.<\/p>\n

The fight pits Mr Paul Musoke ,the former chairperson of the governing committee of the cooperative, against the new leadership led by Mr Yusuf Nsubuga.<\/p>\n

Each accuses the other of crippling the cooperative\u2019s activities. The misunderstandings stem from how the Shs235m grant was spent by Mr Musoke\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n

Mr Suleiman Kakembo, a member of the cooperative, said the disputes have denied the elected leaders a chance to assume office and scrutinise the cooperative\u2019s books of accounts.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe heard there were irregular transactions made using funds that members used to save in order to start up the cooperative , but we have not got the right information since leaders are not in office ,\u201d he said on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Mr Kakembo said the divisions have also prompted members to take sides.<\/p>\n

\u201cBukulula Coffee Farmers Cooperative Society has about 300 active farmers with a capacity of producing more than 20 tonnes per season, but many take their coffee elsewhere for processing,\u2019\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n

Some members also complained about the quality of coffee hurlers that were procured claiming they can hardly process coffee.<\/p>\n

They say the cooperative does not pay farmers immediately after selling their coffee unlike other factories in the area.<\/p>\n

While contacted, Mr Nsubuga blamed Mr Musoke and his team of failing to account for funds spent during his tenure yet members are demand accountability.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t have a grudge with him [Musoke], but I cannot just assume office when the previous leadership has totally failed to prepare a handover report and also give accountability of the funds spent during their time in office, this cooperative belongs to members not individuals ,\u2019\u2019 Nsubuga said.<\/p>\n

However ,Mr Musoke said Mr Nsubuga knows how the cooperative was running since he was serving as vice chairperson of the governing committee .<\/p>\n

\u201c Our coffee hurler faced that challenge [of cutting the coffee beans]during the testing phase and we solved it afterwards, it currently, it operates normally and any member is free to use it at any time,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n

According to an official in the production department who preferred anonymity, they have on several occasions tried to amicably solve the Cooperative issues in vain.<\/p>\n

\u201c If their differences were only on the management of the factory , we could have resolved them long time ago ,but both the old and new leaders seem to have other problems which they don\u2019t share with us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
