According to Babra Wasagali, the General Manager of BCU, holding an AGM is a mandatory requirement under the Cooperative Act. She added that the guest of honor will be the State Minister in charge of Trade and Cooperatives, Hon. Ngobi Fredrick Guume.

Wasagali emphasized that only registered member societies with full patronage and shares will be allowed to attend the AGM. She further explained that the AGM is the supreme decision-making body of the union.
