Chris and Alex bamulumbye went to this village to conclude the lesson of opening bank account and introduce a new lesson on decision to receive goats however, the agenda of the meeting changed when some community members started complaining about some signatories of the community bank account and the choice of the bank as well, while some section of community members agreed with the status quo, a bigger section of the community disregarded it and demanded fresh election and choice of bank to be carried out. Chris and Alex bamulumbye have always encouraged the community to interest themselves in matters that develop their community, they have been told that when disagreements occur, the leaders have to find a common ground to resolve the matters therefore the disagreements in the community show ownership of the program in the community. During the meeting Mr Haruna Magoola thanked Kibo Group for sensitizing the community about keeping money in the bank other than in the houses , he said now everyone in the community knows how safe it is to keep money in the bank however, he said the security of the money in bank has to be guaranteed by the community, this meant that they have to ensure the trustworthy of the signatories of the community bank and the services the bank of their choice offers. Mrs Magoola said many community members including him do not trust some members selected as bank signatories therefore the he requested Mrs Norah , the chairperson to conduct another elections where everyone will agree on new bank signatories.
