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 !
