Residents in Kyaburere Bugangari sub-county, Rukungiri district, have chosen to receive tangible goods rather than be refunded their UGX 12,000 registration fee paid to Peace Rugambwa in 2018 to join the Boona Bagaigahare Nyekundiire group.
The community members in Rukungiri, Ntungamo, Kanungu, Kisoro, Rubanda, Kabale, and Rukiga districts were organized into groups by the non-governmental organization (NGO) “Boona Bagaigahare Nyekundeire,” led by Peace Rugambwa. Each member paid Shs 12,000 as a registration fee and promised benefits from the organization which Rugambwa claimed would be funded by the President.
This decision was reached during a meeting held yesterday at Omukeshande Trading Center in Kyaburere parish, Bugangari sub-county, Rukungiri district. At the meeting, three individuals living in dire conditions received assistance from the Boona Bagaigahare Nyekundire group coordinator, Peace Rugamwa.
Each of these three residents received essential items including a mattress, blanket, bed sheets, 10 kg bags of maize flour and rice, 10 kg of beans, soap, and jelly, among others.
In light of recent information that President Museveni has vowed to ensure the refund of the UGX 12,000, residents expressed their preference for receiving material goods rather than cash.
Peace Rugambwa, responding to inquiries from our reporter, stated that she is committed to providing items that can improve people’s living standards.
She urged Ugandans to separate politics from development and called on leaders at all levels to prioritize development efforts.
