{UAH} RESPONSE TO KAROORO: UPDATE on UNAA lawsuit

 Ms Karooro,

You raise so many things but 'll try to answer some of your questions:

1. I don't think you have been following this matter for the past several years.  We are not witch-hunting the current leadership.  fyi, a few of the current leaders used to demand accountability too. 

2. UNAA is a members-based organization governed by Massachusetts law.  It is a non-profit organization governed by federal law.  Both federal law and Massachusetts law provide that members have the right to inspect books and records of UNAA. Their lawyer conceded that we are entitled to enforce our inspection rights. At the hearing on Friday, the judge asked UNAA's lawyer why they have not given us the records. I have provided the Court with several emails where we demanded to inspect the books. 

3. I never said that the current leaders embezzled UNAA money.   The only leader that I know to have embezzled money is Moses Bukenya.  But I also know that UNAA money has been getting lost. e.g in 2013, about $200k disappeared in this air.  We can't know for sure unless we look at the books.  Unfortunately, the leaders have been hiding the books from us.

4.  You mention that UNAA posted records online.  Their lawyer claimed that the same thing last week at the hearing.  If you have looked at those summaries online, you'd know that they don't tell you anything.  For example, UNAA gives out lots of contracts for things that volunteers have already done.  But that is not reflected on the summaries. There are a dozens of commission agents but we don't know what service they provide.  For some years, the federal tax returns filed with the IRS are different from the client copies posted on UNAA's website. etc

Finally, I have a question for you:  are you opposed to members inspecting UNAA books?  If so, why?
