Two SACCO executives have been arrested in the eastern district of Kumi.
Between June 2023 and May 2024, it was alleged that Mr. Ityakorit Edmond, the parish chief of Oladot, along with Mr. Ojuma Anthony, the chairman of the Oladot Sheep Keeping SACCO, Mr. Ongodia Sliver, the secretary, and Mrs. Acham Teddy, the treasurer, solicited money from SACCO members for enrollment in the Parish Development Model (PDM) scheme.
Information received by Kumi’s Resident District Commissioner (RDC), Mr. Washaki Muhammad, indicated that these executive members requested payments from individuals to secure their status as beneficiaries of the PDM.
Following this report, the RDC and a team from the police at Kumi Police Station arrested the suspects and charged them with obtaining money by false pretenses.
It was found that not all members who were enrolled actually received benefits from the PDM, prompting their arrests.
