Members of 'CATAM' cooperative for pineapple growers that make and bottles pineapple wine in Mutenderi don't understand how they can spend 4 years operating and don't share even a single cent.
This cooperative gets about Rwf800 000 profits every month. Some of the cooperative members say that being in this cooperative doesn't help them at all since their fellows who are in other cooperatives share money for dividends and do things that develop them.
One Diogene Nizeyimana a cooperative member said that for the last 4 years he has been in this cooperative he has never got any money instead they are always in unending meetings. He said that members are tired and bored by this.
"Those who joined later get Rwf30 000 per month but for us they say money is not yet available. When we ask they show us accounts and since most of us didn't go to school we can't understand. We need advocacy so as to understand what is happening if they don't just eat our money."
Fidel Nkurayija the president of this cooperative for six months admits to poor accountability of this cooperative. He said that the former president of the cooperative Alphonse Ngendahimana was characterized by lack of experience and spending money in undefined ways and up to now he is still answering about the disappearance of Rwf600 000.
Fidel Nkurayija said that now things are starting to go to order and that in 2 months they will start sharing the money made from the profit among all members. This cooperative is still rebuilding itself and it has been buying some of the modern machines needed.
Another limitation of this cooperative the president mentioned of is that this cooperative has about 260 members and that it takes time to have money to give to all members.
