{UAH} Message To UNAA Members

Dear Rahim,

As a friend whom I have known for almost 15 years dating back to our days at Kibuli Secondary School, and knowing your character, I have no doubt that you will find it within you to forgive those who might have slandered your name and reputation.

I respect everybody, but above all I respect the UNAA Constitution - A document that on Sunday, September 1st, I took an oath to protect and defend. 

If in the process of carrying out that duty anyone feels they were disrespected or slighted, I hope that they can find it within themselves to join me and begin the work to put this episode behind us.

Rahim, once again I look forward to working with you as a member of the UNAA Council as we continue to build and grow our beloved organization.

Congratulations, once again!

Dear UNAA Members,

On September 24^th the Chairman of the BOT posted a very disturbing ruling which stated that after very careful examination the UNAA BOT concluded that I was not a member in good standing by August 15^th and that I fraudulently sought to become the Male Youth Representative for Canada.

The Chairman of the BOT did in fact call me a few days ago and in a very short conversation asked who I was among other pleasantries. Not once did he ask me about my payment for UNAA Membership or the circumstance of who nominated me as a candidate.

My fellow members, I wish the Chairman had asked me these simple questions and given me a chance to explain myself. It would have saved UNAA members all this pain and the BOT great embarrassment. It would also have saved me the great embarrassment of being unfairly labeled as a fraud.

Please be informed that I have just been copied on an email to the UNAA EC and the UNAABOT which contains powerful, incontrovertible and irrefutable evidence that I became a UNAA member on August 14^th 2013.

 

I have also asked the Chairman of the UNAA BOT to set the record straight by completely withdrawing his very injurious ruling and issuing on UNAALIST a declaration which states that the UNAA BOT Investigation fell short, that I was a fully paid up UNAA Member on August 14^th 2013 and that the UNAA BOT was not able to prove any fraud on my part. I have asked that this very fair and balanced request be posted before 5pm 30^th September 2013 to UNAALIST and all other forums; UNAANET, UAH, KigeziNet, UAA-DFW, etc on which the communication has been forwarded to.

I am a young Ugandan who is trying to make a difference in my life and my community. I am just setting out on my career, building a personal reputation and I take ethics very seriously. I hope you can all understand the great danger of having emails all over the internet accusing me of fraudulent activity.

 

Indeed some of you on UNAALIST have propagated what are clearly serious lies from the Chairman of the UNAA BOT. Please cease this destructive action. Under these circumstances, I also hope you will all understand that if the Chairman of the BOT does not issue this retraction to my satisfaction, I will seek legal action. I hope it does not come to that though since as a duly elected UNAA Council member, I will be working with him for the next two years as he is a colleague in the UNAA leadership.

Thank you very much for your time and patience as we work through all this, and I look forward to having all this behind us.
