Gumisiriza asked members to keep focused in the forthcoming political season, choose leaders who will foster development rather than those promising heaven on earth and tarnishing the current leadership.
Hon Minister Jim Muhwezi contributed one million shillings towards the development of Bwanda Sacco.

Micheal Byarugaba who represented the district chairperson encouraged Bwanda Sacco members and the entire country to engage in commercial enterprises in a bid to make money and alleviate themselves from poverty rather than relying solely on subsistence mode of life. Byarugaba urged SACCO members who borrow money to always make their payments on time to avoid penalties.
This he said emanates from proper saving and planning for the loan before requesting for the loan.
