{UAH} RESPONSE to KAMUGISHA: Effects of my Law Suit

Mr Kamugisha,

To answer your question, please refer to my email below, that I posted on this forum on Dec 17, 2014. It should be fairly clear that the suit I filed is NOT aimed at stopping the convention in New Orleans.  As I explained below, if I win in court, we will go back to the old constitution/bylaws and elections will be held under the old bylaws. 

thanks.

Subject: Effects of the Petition

If our petition is granted, UNAA will go back to the old constitution:

1. Current Board: the current Board will be disbanded. Mr Wilson and Ms Rosette Serwanga will not be able to continue extending their stay on the Board (their term expired in August 2014). Ms Nairuba, Mr Mureeba and others will not be appointed to the Board under the 2010 format. 

2. New Board: UNAA will hold elections for a new Board.  i.e we will go back to old system of choosing Directors via elections...any UNAA member in good standing will be free to stand (including Mr Wilson, Ms Nairuba, Mr Mureeba, Ms Kasujja, Ms Namwase, Mr Gaburungyi, etc).

3. Directors: the current Directors (Ms Kasujja, Mr Gaburungyi and Ms Namwase) will be removed.

4. Election Commission: the current Election Commission will be disbanded.  The leadership of UNAA will announce a new body that will have been appointed openly and fairly. 

5. 2010 Constitution: the 2010 constitution can then be cleaned up (to remove confusing/conflicting provisions, remove illegal provisions, etc) and approved according to State law i.e members will be given ample statutory time to review the amendments, changes will have to be approved by 2/3 of the members, etc.

6. Tim Gaburungyi: Mr Gaburungyi will be removed from control of the website and control of unaalist.

7. Treasurer: members will confirm Mr Sempungu's status as Treasurer.  If he doesn't want to stay, members will conduct elections to replace him.  Mr Brian Kwesiga will no longer be President AND Treasurer.

8. Elections: elections will be conducted under the legal documents. Any Ugandan living in North America (or their spouses), will be a member eligible to vote, if they pay for the convention.  

thanks
