Compensate our SACCO office because it belonged to us- Kasoli residents begs Standard Gauge railway Before relocation.
In recent days we saw a stories about the Kasoli housing project which was a project organised by local people to build an estate to ensure that all their members had good homes.
In that bid this project was to have over 250 members housed.
The organised SACCO members went for a partnership with different stake holders but the standard gauge railway requested to compensate them and in this they accepted since the project was to be concluded within 3 months
At this time it was in 2016 but the compensation started last week.
These people have been less paid and what hurts is that they have shared the compensation fee with the government and what is given to them can’t even help them to relocate.
These people are now in thousands and they are left in limbo of street survival and soon you will see Tororo flooded with street kids.
To our dismay we realised that even their office structures are just abducted on zero compensation and we are still wondering why the government is behaving like this.
These are your people who came up with one of the best ideas and they should instead be protected by you but instead you are taking what belongs to them.
We call upon whoever is responsible to kindly compensate these people to start up and boost their SACCO you conieved and failed.
These tenants were given less compensation, it has been over due, you are sharing 30% from what they got and still you are taking their offices freely
Where is the heart of humanity?.
