Linden Utility Services Cooperative Society Limited needs probing

Dear Editor,
I have been a member of the Linden Utility Services Cooperative Society Limited, Registration #763, for more than 38 years, and, over the past seven years, I have discovered that the Committee of Management is unwilling to call a single members’ or Annual General Meeting, to inform us, the members and owners of this Society, of our business.
There have been widespread reports from members in the inner working of the Society, who complained of mismanagement by the Committee in recent times, and I am hereby calling for the Commissioner to conduct a probe of this Society.
I was told that the subject Minister and Chief Cooperative Development Officer were informed of these developments, but nothing in terms of a probe is forthcoming to date.
Editor, the Committee of Management paid millions of dollars to a proprietor in October 2021 for items which have not been delivered to the Society to date. In the most recent audit report of 2019, there were numerous instances of similar nature. There are also reports of gross mismanagement with Society’s Welfare Scheme and its hardware store worth millions of dollars.
Editor, I should greatly appreciate if the relevant authorities would look into this matter swiftly.

Yours truly,
Eon Halls
