Subject: [Ugnet] This is the Evil hiding behind NGO's
Re: NGO voter education scam exposed
Dear Gen Kayihura,
A time back you investigated a few NGO's and then I heard nothing further.
Below, is a piece on how NGOs undermine countries.
==================
General Kayihura, I suspect the number of NGOs in Uganda are in the
thousands. As a matter of National Security, please, among other things,
register all of them in two categories, i.e. Local NGOs _( locally funded),
and Foreign NGOs_ ones with any foreign financing.
Just Canada has stopped funding the old CIDA, the one that helped us with
Co-operatives, Soil Erosion, etc.. and have, officially, budgeted over
$300million for these foreign NGOs, to train "agitators" to be used to
further, exclusively, interests of Mining Companies ( read: train in the
art of regime change, in the art of production of fake Computer generated TV
"News" for whipping populations into confused frenzy , the art of computer
data hacking to corrupt and falsify elections and electoral systems......
General Kahihura when these countries change their foreign policy in this
manner do they inform our Foreign Affairs, or we are just expected to
continue diplomatic nicety to the new frenzy of pillage and plunder?
All of us must be very vigilant.
Mitayo Potosi.

chairperson Justice Rita Makarau
Tendai Mugabe Senior Reporter
GOVERNMENT is considering restricting voter education to political parties
after unearthing nefarious
dealings aimed at manipulating the process by some non-governmental
organisations engaged to undertake the initiative.
One such organisation, the Electoral Institute for Sustainable Democracy in
Africa contracted by ZEC has incorporated information carrying political
messages favouring certain parties.
The pamphlets carrying these political messages have a ZEC logo and are
titled "Voter Registration: Your vote is your right".
They are set to be distributed countrywide as part of voter education.
Some of the information in Shona pamphlets reads: "Nyoresa uunze shanduko.
Usasaririre."
In some cases the pamphlets are written; "Register to make a difference. Do
not be left out."
The change mantra being insinuated in the messages is associated with the
MDC-T slogan, "Chinja maitiro" that dovetails with the party's regime change
agenda.
Although Justice and Legal Affairs Minister Patrick Chinamasa could not be
reached for a comment yesterday, highly-placed sources said in view of this,
Government was contemplating limiting voter education to political parties.

"ZEC has picked up this. As Government we are slowly convinced that we
should restrict voter education to political parties," said the source.
"That is evidence with the mischief that can take place."
Government, the source said, would not allow NGOs to campaign for certain
political parties under the guise of voter education.
The Herald is reliably informed that this hatchet job is a brainchild of the
United States of America which is the principal funder of EISA.
EISA, which operates in several African countries, claims to be a non-profit
organisation.
By its own admission, EISA has actively participated in electoral processes
of many African countries.
According to EISA, its executive director Mr Dennis Kadima participated in
about 50 electoral processes worldwide in different capacities.
Mr Kadima, who once worked for the United Nations, had many publications on
political party systems, electoral systems and processes and election
observation.
"Our vision is to have an African continent where democratic governance,
human rights and citizen participation are held in a peaceful environment,"
reads EISA's vision statement.
EISA claims that it worked in a number of programmes including democracy,
conflict management, election education, elections and political processes,
balloting and electoral services and research and information among others.
The organisation was established in 1996 and is based in Johannesburg, South
Africa, with field offices in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Chad,
Mozambique, Kenya and Madagascar and has opened a new office in Harare.
Western funded organisations have of late been more active in Zimbabwe's
politics as the country's heads for elections due by July 31.
Some of the organisation which are de facto MDC-T appendages have been
funded to the tune of US$2 million by the British embassy in Harare to
launch an advocacy campaign programme code-named "Feya Feya'' ostensibly to
demand a "free and fair" election in Zimbabwe.
The funding, which is being channelled through the Crisis in Zimbabwe
Coalition, was expected to culminate in a Leaders Conference at Pandhari
Lodge in Harare on May 30 and 31 where the quasi-political groups were to
draw up a list of demands pertaining to the holding of the harmonised
elections.
The indaba was, however, cancelled after it was exposed in the media.
The same groups also convened in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia ahead of the African
Union golden jubilee celebrations where they wanted to lobby African leaders
on what they said were minimum conditions for the holding of free and fair
elections in Zimbabwe.
The campaign to buttress the MDC-T reform mantra by the groups that convened
under the banner of the Zimbabwe Civil Society Heads of Coalitions however,
hit a snag after the AU Golden Jubilee Organising Committee told them to
leave as it had not made provision for non-State actors.
Mr Tsvangirai was subsequently forced to cancel his planned sojourn to Addis
Ababa in the wake of the grief that befell his advance team.
