ugnet_: Salim Saleh Slates Luweero people On 130m Loan - Bukedde 23/4/2004

[Omar Kezimbira]

The people of Luweero whom he lent Ug. Shs 130 million have impeded his ambition to set up banks in villages, according to a claim by veteran soldier, Maj. Gen. Salim Saleh. Maj. Gen. Salim Saleh has blamed the people of Luweero for defrauding him of a sum of Ug Shs. 130 million that he lent them to salvage them from poverty. He said that they demoralised him from setting up banks at county levels. "The people whom I lent money are not paying, an example being the people of Luweero whom I lent 130 million which they ate". That is how Saleh who was speaking in Luganda informed people on Tuesday who attended the official function marking the opening of a Developement Micro Finance Institution at Sonde in Goma county, Mukono. Salim Saleh went on to say that he had a vision of setting up Micro Financial Schemes at all county levels to assist people in poverty alleviation efforts but feared due people being unreliable. The Minister of State for Finance, Planning & Economic Development, Mr. Isaac Musumba, disclosed that the government is to utilise Micro Finance Institutions in assisting people in self- development efforts especially in villages. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Balyazamaanya
