Re: [Wikimedia Kenya] URGENT MEETUP and WMKE Financials

2012-07-19 Thread Abbas Mahmood

Steve, 
It's not the Board who said you haven't answered questions. It's ME. I asked:

 What personal issues/personal dues were you referring to as an excuse to not 
issuing the per diem?
Isaac also asked:
Why are you claiming that the per diem was not budgeted for, yet at the start 
up grant, there's a whole $1000 budgeted for travel? 
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:WM_KE/Start-up
One more thing:
Since you adamantly refused to issue me your bank statement, I need proof that 
the outstanding balance of Wikimedia Kenya's money is in your account. You can 
go to the bank and they can print you a letter saying that "Steve's statement 
of account is in excess of X shillings" (X being the base amount remaining from 
Wikimedia Kenya's money.) So if you get this official letter from the bank 
confirming that Wikimedia Kenya's money is in your account, there would be no 
reason to ask for a bank statement.

don't discuss the matter further since nobody seems to be addressing the
financial questions that are being posed.

The meeting will be both and I think the agenda is up for changes.

statements or "digest" them. Financial statements and reports can be
emailed to members and they can read them at the (dis)comfort of their

I dint know you had sort for answers in vain.in that case,we should
probably just make this an accountability meeting where we will be taken
through all our finances by the treasurer

Steve,
Please share the doc with all members by kesho morning?

Re: [Wikimedia Kenya] URGENT MEETUP and WMKE Financials

2012-07-19 Thread Abbas Mahmood

Oscar,
Personally, I don't need a meeting to get hold of the financial statements or 
"digest" them. Financial statements and reports can be emailed to members and 
they can read them at the (dis)comfort of their homes. I need a meeting to get 
justifications, answers, and accountability -- for I have failed to get answers 
and accountability via email.
If this upcoming meeting wouldn't be a Q&A, then count me out.
Thanks,Abbas. ___

Oscar,kindly include discussion of who the new signatories to the new
chapters account will be on the agenda.I think its very crucial before we
open the new account.

On other matters,i wish to volunteer to be on the audit committee.I have a
background in accounts and finance and its my opinion that the audit
commitee should be independent from the board to ensure transparency and
accountability.

Hi,
I think saturday meet up is a nice idea.
We should sort out this issue as soon as possible.
I find it unethical for the treasurer to say he can't give us the per diem
which the board approved and yet he and Alex awarded themselves per diem
when they were going to Germany and the board/ chapter members were not
made aware of this till our last meet up when we were discussing about our
travel to Wikimania, I just talked to Steve and he says that the money was
not budgeted for,
May I remind him to look at the discussion page for Grant application, it
is Asaf who proposed an addition of 1000 for travel, so the question is,
where is this Money?

I am very concerned about our financials and I hope that everything will be
sorted Asap,
Isaac

I agree with David on the issue of the board meeting first.however,there
seems to be very major transparency issues in the board.From what i have
gathered and the kenyan wikimedians need serious clarification on,Steve had
an arrangement with the board to spend the chapter money for some of his
personal reasons(thats what steve told abbass).

on this note,who is speaking the truth becoz then how can we trust the
board to solve this issue objectively.I agrree with Oscar,lets all meet
this Saturday n review the financials becoz from what i can see from the
expenditure,there is a clear lack of responsibility from the treasuer in
carrying out his role in a proper and transparent role.

Steve,Oscar,alex and abbass,there are receipts that you havent yet
submitted from the expense sheet that steve submitted.i would reccommend
that all the board members submit the pending recepits on sat.same to chris
and anyone else whose reciepts are pending.

Alex,
Indeed. After all, the bylaws clearly state that "All accounts, books, 
securities and any other relevant documents of the company must be available 
for inspection free of charge by _any_ member upon request".
Oscar,I am also curious about the per diem issue. I inquired from the Treasurer 
and was told that there were some "personal dues" and "personal issues" that 
need to be resolved. I don't know what that means. I must say that I am very 
disappointed by the fact that Wikimedia Kenya volunteers went to the United 
States without being given a per diem, especially bearing in mind that there 
was a Board Majority Approval requesting the treasurer to issue out a per diem. 
No offence to the Board but if you guys are incapacitated and can not execute 
the resolutions you make, then it makes us, as members, question your mandate 
and power.

can even join via Skype if it is proper hours for me.

Meanwhile, I have seen the statement that Steve (or was it Oscar? ) shared,

I don't think such a meetup should be contested and in accordance with
our bylaws, the Board should be audited by the CHAPTER. But from my
knowledge there are usually two reports, unaudited (from the board)
and audited (from the audit committee - released to public), otherwise
what will you be auditing?

Re: [Wikimedia Kenya] URGENT MEETUP and WMKE Financials

2012-07-18 Thread Stephen Wanjau
Hello!

I have shared the expenses sheet with the Wikimedia Kenya board and am
waiting for their comments on that and questions if any to me as the
treasurer so that the board can in turn present the same to the chapter. I
am waiting for responses from the board and I have received none as yet.
They have a deadline that I set for Friday the 20th of July 2012
after-which I will take the next course of action after assuming they have
nothing they expect me to clarify about the expenditures there in.

Just so you know, I like the muscle of this thread and not the one on
Wikiproject Kenya or Africa for that matter.

regards,
Stephen.

Abbas,

You are forgetting that the board has not handled any finances or assets.
What this should be is a handover of what so far has been handled by Steve
officially to the board.

On the audit committee, we did agree that we will form it and I think this
is a good time to do so.

David.

Re: [Wikimedia Kenya] URGENT MEETUP and WMKE Financials

2012-07-18 Thread Oliver Stegen
Oops, did we forget to mention auditors in our constitution?

I agree with Abbas - it's usually pretty standard that the general meeting
(or assembly) of an organisation appoints auditors who then report on the
financial actions of the organisation as a whole and the board in
particular.

The Board can not audit itself -- there will definitely be bias and
self-interest. The Board can (and should) have an audit committee (or an
interim committee) that will examine the financial records of Wikimedia
Kenya. This committee will then report back to the Board with its findings
