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 !
