AAGM: Co-Operatives Return, Hope That They Will be Engine of Rural Growth.
(From The Monitor (Uganda): AAGM)
Byline: Isabirye Musoke
Co-operative societies could come back to life after President Yoweri Museveni recently directed the Vice President's Office to revive them.
Fagil Mandy, a retired government commissioner has been appointed as a mobiliser for the co-operatives. The Monitor's Isabirye Musoke spoke to Leonard Msemakweli, the General Secretary of Uganda Co-operative Alliance Ltd. at his offices in Kampala on whether the co-operative movement was back in business.
Government is throwing its weight behind the co-operative movement. What is your view on this?
One hundred percent supportive. In my experience, there are three scenarios in which government and co-operatives can relate to one another. The first is the extreme case where government is in full control of co-operatives. This was witnessed between 1971 and 1991. Co-operatives could only make investments with authorisation from the Co-operative Commissioner. Co-operative managers were appointed by government and for two decades it was like that.
The second scenario is where government washes its hands off the co-operatives and tells them to fend for themselves. To some extent, this is what has been happening since 1991 after a new co-operative law was enacted. None of these two extremes really favours the co-operative movement.
