person
was not documented.

AHILA was to be included in the

Minute 3:
Treasurer’s
report
In the absence of Treasure AHILA - Ms
Blessing Chaitara Mawire, the report
was read by the Secretary General – Mr
Charles Marwa.
Concerns raised
1. If Executive members are not paid,
why are there overhead costs in
the expenses? Why is someone
paid while others are volunteers?
Why is ITOCA being paid?
2. There were unexplained losses in
the report.
3. What is the agreement between
ITOCA and AHILA? Why are most
overhead costs going to ITOCA? IS
ITOCA doing AHILA work?
4. If AHILA is pan African, why is its
registration being done in South
Africa and a director required from
South Africa?
5. Members requested that the
AHILA-ITOCA MOU be shared with
them so that they could
understand the relationship.
There needs to be clear terms of
operation between AHILA and ITOCA
AHILA needs a Secretariat so that
there is continuity rather than the
office moving round with the elected
President. This will also provide a
central point of communication
beyond the Congress thereby
reducing cases of miscommunication
or repetitive discussions once there is
a point of reference.
A central location for the AHILA
account also needs to be chosen.
Currently, since South African banks
are more stable, the account is in
South Africa. This will provide a
history to the account as well as
remove the need to move the account
to whichever country the Treasurer
comes from.
The Treasure will be required to
revise the report and share with
Blessing
Chaitara
