The NGO Regulatory Authority (NGORA) would like to inform the public that it has cancelled the registration of United Mission Foundation.

The Authority received complaints that United Mission Foundation was collecting money from beneficiaries in contravention of its conditions of registration which stipulated that it should not collect money from the Public.

NGORA gave the Foundation an opportunity to be heard in writing on 13th July, 2022 and verbally through a hearing session on 27th September, 2022 at NGORA offices. The Foundation was requested to submit in writing, by 7th October, 2022, its counter arguments but to the date of cancellation on 6th February, 2023 no submission was made.  

From the evidence available and the hearing, NGORA found that the Foundation contravened the Non-Governmental Organisations Act specifically section 23 (1) (b). It is against this finding of misconduct that the registration of United Mission Foundation was cancelled. In line with section 23 (4) of the same Act, should the Foundation feel aggrieved with the decision, it may apply to the High Court for judicial review.
