23rd TRIENNIAL CONFERENCE - ARUSHA

6th to 8th APRIL 2007

 

RESOLUTION

 

The following Resolution for amendment to the Africa Federation Constitution has been received from the Shia Asna-Asheri Jamaat, Nairobi, which will be placed for discussion and consideration at the 23rd Triennial Conference to held in Arusha from 6th April 2007.

 

PREAMBLE

In view of the fact that the work load at the Secretariat is increasing at a tremendous pace and the Federation of Khoja Shia Ithna Asheri Jamaats of Africa is proactively involved in keeping abreast with all the constituent Jamaats as well as being fully involved in various activities like increasing the income from the property portfolio, Tableegh, education, health, economic upliftment, housing schemes amongst many other, there is a dire need for a full time Secretary General to manage the affairs at the secretariat in order to be able to serve effectively and efficiently with full accountability.

 

In this regards, we the Nairobi Jamaat hereby propose the following amendment to the constitution.
