Farmers under the NAADS program in Kakeka sub-county in Mbarara district are likely to miss funding in the next financial year 2011-2012 as a result by the sub-county’s failure to co fund as the-government policy requires.
Mbarara district vice chairperson and secretary for production Godfrey Baryomunsi disclosed this during a one day review planning meeting for farmers involved in NAADS program at Kakeka sub-county in Kashari County Mbarara district.
He said Kakeka sub-county farmers with positive committed efforts and participated in NAADS unfortunately their efforts failed by the sub-county accountant Zabrone Bantu who stole sub-county funds valued over 73 million shillings.
The National Agriculture Advisory services program offers improved agriculture input, technical guidance and capital where necessary to farmers that show potential to improve and gain from commercial agriculture.
