It was drama at a public secondary school in Jinja district after parents and teachers collided with loan officials from the opportunity bank who tried to possess the school.
The fuming Parents reportedly stormed Green View Secondary School after getting gossip that loan officers were threatening to seize it for failure to clear a 53 million Shillings loan.
The highly emotional crowd wreaked havoc at the school premises before forcibly chasing away the bank officials with minimal assistance from the school authorities.
The bitter mothers demanded to know why the bankers choose this moment when the community is just recovering from 3 harsh months of lockdown with schools closed to claim a loan payment.
They blatantly told the panicking loan officers who they claim unfairly showed up at a time as this to demand payment or close the school to postponed their duty until the lockdown is fully lifted.
The director Green View Secondary School Aggrey Mupere says the purpose of the loan was to renovate 2 dormitories and for the bank to process the school a land title of which the later has not happened 2 years later yet the money has been spent.
He says despite clearing 18 million Shillings to the bank, a one year grace period that was promised to them by the bank was not honored.
Mupere says they would have religiously paid back the loan if not for the lockdown that closed the school business.
Opportunity Bank officials were not readily available to give comment on the loan situation.
