WILL YOU SURVIVE THE UNAA-NY 2006
CONVENTION?
NRMO
Intervention Precipitates The Collapse Of UNAA
In what was
predicted by seasoned UNAA convention organizers, the coming UNAA-NY 2006
convention is facing imminent collapse due to the incompetency, naivety
and greed of the organizers. As I write this, the writing is on the wall.
Trouble started,
when a group of unknown quantity and dubious political credentials headed
by one Edward Wanda of Patterson New York, took over the leadership of the
then hardly unknown Uganda American Association Of Greater New York
(UAAGNY) in 2003. Current members of UAAGNY leadership headed by Wanda,
include Twaha Bukenya, Allan Katatumba, Joseph Senyonjo, Abraham Muhoozi,
Joseph Kazinduka Amooti, Duncan Muhumuza, Thelma Byenkya and George
Kamuhanda. Most of these people recently featured on an External Security
Organization (ESO) list of North American Special - Who is Watching You?
In a series of
ill fated and gross naked opportunism, once the Wanda group gained control
of UAAGNY, they turned around and organized themselves as an NRMO New York
Branch in 2004. As a result, UAAGNY became synonymous with NRMONY. They
both have the same leadership of Wanda, deputized by Allan Katatumba.
Other members of the NRMONY include Twaha Bukenya, Abraham Muhoozi, Joseph
Amooti, Kazinduka, Duncan Muhumuza and Thelma Byenkya. This leadership,
with support from their political godfathers and sponsors in NRMO Uganda,
proceeded to fight tooth and nail at the UNAA Minneapolis convention for
UAAGNY to be allowed to organize and host UNAA 2006 in New York, and they
succeeded.
With the merger
of NRMONY and UAAGNY taking over control of the UAAGNY 2006 convention,
the Wanda group seems to be driven by rampart and reckless greed, trying
to enrich themselves, as well as hoping to advance their "political"
careers along the greasy oiled NRMO pole in Uganda.
Although Wanda
heads both NRMONY and UAAGNY, Allan Katatumba deputized by Joseph Senyonjo
are the driving force behind the ill fated UAAGNY 2006 convention.
Katatumba is the son of an NRMO die hard and Uganda businessman; and is
married to a Caucasian woman from Idaho. Senyonjo is the son of former
West Buganda Bishop Senyonjo, who was recently defrocked by the Church of
Uganda for promoting homosexuality.
Katatumba was
specifically charged, by his political masters in Uganda with ensuring
that the UNAA-NY 2006 convention is an NRMO affair. He is now personally
in charge of four committees critical to the organizing and success of the
convention.
The
NRMONY/UAAGNY leadership, including Twaha Bukenya, Edward Wanda and Allan
Katatumba just recently returned from Uganda where they had gone for
"consultations" and were special guests at the swearing in ceremony of
Museveni, the NRMO president. Unfortunately, what must have seemed like
triumph to the Wanda group, may indeed be the kiss of death for UNAA due
to their ignorance of the little known but sharp US law, the Foreign
Agents Registration Act (FARA).
FARA states that
"Federal law requires that anyone acting as an agent of a foreign
government or foreign political party but is not a member of that
country's diplomatic service to register with the Department of Justice as
a foreign agent" . It boggles how the UAAGNY/NRMONY organizers can proceed
to make the UNAA-NY 2006 convention an NRMO affair, without registering
themselves with the Department of Justice as foreign agents of the NRMO
government.
FARA describes a
foreign principal as a foreign government or political party organized
under the laws of a foreign country. An agent of a foreign principal is
described as any individual or organization which acts at the order,
request, or under the direction or control of a foreign principal, or
whose activities are directed by a foreign principal who: (i) engages in
political activities, or (ii) acts in a public relations capacity for a
foreign principal. The law further state that for someone to be classified
as a foreign agent there must be evidence of foreign direction and control
of the agent's activities in the USA.
All NRMO-US
branch officers and agents must register with the Department of Justice as
foreign agents and file forms outlining their agreements with, income
from, and expenditures on behalf of the foreign principal - NRMO Uganda.
The NRMONY leadership has already received money from Uganda which they
now have to declare when they register, plus the10% finders fee which
whoever collects the money keeps for himself.
If the Wanda
group is thinking of denying being agents of a foreign power they need to
remember the following: it is already public information that they have
invited NRMO President Museveni and his political officers like Byaruhanga
to the 2006 convention. Invitations of any government minister(s) or
employee(s) to make NRMO propaganda speeches at the convention; the use
/employing of government and embassy staff on the UAAGNY committees are
all proof of direction and control by NRMO and Uganda government. In
addition, the use of Uganda based NRMO/Government agents to campaign and
solicit support for any US based UNAA candidates is another indication of
being foreign agents.
As foreign
agents, the Wanda group and all other NRMO agents in the USA must register
with the Department of Justice's Foreign Agents Registration Unit in the
Counterespionage section. Failure to register as an agent is a criminal
offence and violation of 18 U.S.CA section 2386, 50 U.S.CA section 851 and
18 U.S.CA section 951 which states that "Whoever, other than a diplomatic
or consular officer or attache, acts in the United States as an agent of a
foreign government without prior notification to the Attorney General if
required in subsection (b), shall be fined under this title or imprisoned
not more than ten years, or both".
The Department
of Justice's Foreign Agents Registration Unit, the Department of the
Treasury's Internal Revenue Service and the Department of Homeland
Security have been notified of foreign agents who are planning a political
convention in September 2006 to distribute NRMO propaganda but have not
yet registered as foreign agents.
UAAGNY is also
trying to register itself to be tax-exempt as a charitable organization as
described in IRC Section 501(c)(3) so they can collect ''donations'' from
especially NRMO Uganda. It should be pointed out to the Wanda group and
other foreign agents that donations from a foreign political organization
cannot be tax exempt in the US. The Internal Revenue Service has been
notified of the possible tax violations by UAAGNY and they are watching
developments very closely.
Will the
Ordinary Ugandan (Kyeyo) Survive the UNAA 2006 NY Convention
?
With the
NRMO-USA/ESO in charge of the convention registration, every registrant's
personal details including address, telephone number, and bank/ credit
card details will be known to the uncouth and greedy individuals
organizing the convention this year. There is a persistent rumor that,
names of ALL people who will register for the UNAA-NY 2006 convention will
be used in the following ways:
(i) ALL names
will be sent back to ISO/CMI headquarters in Kitante at Okello House in
Uganda for screening. This is where incoming international phone
calls are tapped. The CMI's Civic Communications Monitoring team will
cross-reference your personal details and phone numbers against those
of frequent callers to Uganda whom they suspect of being opponents of the
NRMO regime.
(ii) ALL
individuals registering for the convention will be asked to ''contribute''
to NRMO . Those who will not respond/refuse to pay will have their names
sent to Homeland Security as suspected illegal immigrants. Since it is now
a criminal offence to be, or to harbor an illegal immigrant, the Homeland
Security will likely investigate all the names sent to it. For those who
are illegal or have someone illegal staying with them, you may have an
early morning visit from Immigration and Naturalization Service - courtesy
of NRMO/ESO - via the UNAA NY Convention 2006. That may be the last you
will see of America before you are deported back to Uganda.
(iii) With Your
credit card details in the hands of NRMO/ESO in Kampala, the state of your
bank account will be at their mercy. It is an open secret that ESO/ ISO
agents are the biggest bichupuli dealers and are always looking for
foreign bank accounts to launder their ill-gotten loot. Registering at
UNAA-NY 2006 means that you stand a very good chance of becoming their
(albeit unwilling) business partner, which may result in an early morning
visit from the FBI - courtesy of NRMO/ESO - via the UNAA-NY convention
2006.
If after
this warning you are still determined to venture and attend UNAA-NY 2006 ,
use cash ONLY, give out as little personal information as you can, and
GOOD LUCK !
