Bugisu Cooperative Union has welcomed the idea of impeaching Minister of Finance Matia Kasaija after signing the controversial coffee agreement with Uganda Vinci Coffee Company Ltd (UVCC).
Last week, Kasaija on behalf of the Government signed an agreement with Enrica Pinetti (Uganda Vinci Coffee Company Ltd (UVCC) to buy, process and export Ugandan coffee.
According to John Musila, the vice chairperson of Bugisu Cooperative Union, also Member of Parliament representing Bubulo East Constituency in Namisindwa district, says that BCU management is behind the proposal.
He adds that this agreement is going to push coffee growers, especially Bagisu, behind and kill their cooperatives.
Musila who spoke to this reporter on Saturday 23rd April, 2022 also confirmed that he is going to be amongst MPs who are going to push for impeachment Kasaija.
Isaiah Sasaga Wanzira, the director of Sironko valley zone under BCU also the legislator of Budadiri East Constituency in Sironko district says that the government is aiming at making farmers poor which will not be allowed.
