OFFICE OF HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS - VOTE 2020

YOUR KOKUA NEEDED NOW! - DEMAND THE OFFICE OF HAWAIIAN AFFAIRS INDEPENDENT AUDIT NOT BE DELAYED

















Please forward this today to all Hawaiians and our supporters.

We wish to make you aware of a quickly developing situation that has very serious negative consequences for Office of Hawaiian Affairs beneficiaries.

An attempt of devious trickery is about to be perpetrated by the“Old Guard” Trustees led by Dan Ahuna and if successful it would deal a serious blow to transparency at OHA.

As you are probably aware the forensic audit being conducted at the Office of Hawaiian Affairs is currently scheduled to be completed by the end of this month with results released soon thereafter.

However, at tomorrowʻs OHA Committee on Resource Management meeting, Trustee Ahuna will be putting forth Action Item RM #19-02, which if approved, would delay the completion of the forensic audit as well as results released to beneficiaries and the public from April 30, 2019 to December 16, 2019.

Hereʻs why it is so critically important that this Action Item be defeated in tomorrowʻs Resource Committee meeting.

The contract of OHA CEO Kamana`opono Crabbe will expire June 30, 2019.

Should Action Item RM #19-02 (delay of forensic audit) be approved by a majority vote of OHA trustees this coming Wednesday, it could delay until December 16th any reporting of potential wrong doing discovered by the forensic audit which could include wrongdoing by OHAʻs CEO and administration.

That would mean OHA beneficiaries would not learn of any potential wrongdoing by OHAʻs administration until six months AFTER OHAʻs CEO contract had been potentially renewed for another three years!

Your help is urgently needed to demand OHA trustees not delay the completion of the forensic audit until December 16th when it will be too late to act on any wrongdoing uncovered by OHAʻs administration.

We ask that you do two very important things -

First, contact all OHA trustees immediately - today is the final day to do so -  and demand they vote AGAINST Action Item RM #19-02 at tomorrowʻs Committee on Resource Management meeting. Tell them you insist on transparency and accountability for all OHA employees and OHA funds.

Secondly, we ask that if at all possible you ATTEND and give testimony against this action item at tomorrowʻs meeting at 10 AM at OHAʻs headquarters in the OHA Board Room at Na Lama Kukui, 560 Nimitz Hwy., Suite 200, Honolulu 96817.

It is critically important that you let them know in person that you demand accountability and honesty.

We have attached below the OHA Action Item RM #19-02 official document.

Please read it.

Please contact Dan Ahuna and the other OHA trustees to let them know you demand they vote to defeat tomorrow this underhanded attempt to hide potential wrongdoing by OHAʻs administration.

If you have not already done so, please contact OHA right now -

THE HAMMER DROPS AT OHA

Tuesday, March 20, 2018

FBI INVESTIGATING OHA TRUSTEE DAN AHUNA SAYS ATTORNEY
































Hawai`i News Now - March 20, 2018

The state Attorney General’s office and the FBI are conducting a wide-ranging investigation into allegations of “public corruption and misappropriation” of taxpayer and state funds at the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, Hawai`i News Now has learned.

Earlier this month, HNN reported that the FBI had joined the state investigators, who have broadened their probe into the embattled state agency.

HNN now has learned that the AG’s office has sent OHA a letter on Feb. 26, asking for thousands of pages of documents, including records of contracts issued by OHA and its for-profit subsidiaries dating back to 2012.

They’re also asking for nearly six years of OHA bank statements, records of credit card and check transactions, wire transfers and all information relating to OHA’s outside investments.

Only a small portion of the records involve actions taken by individual trustees. Most of the documents relate to actions taken by or approved by CEO Kamana`o Crabbe and OHA’s top management, adding fuel to efforts to oust OHA's top executive.

"I think it's very clear that the focus of this investigation is the OHA CEO and the administration,” said Hawaiian activist and attorney Mililani Trask.

"I think the time has come to dismiss Kamanao Crabbe."

OHA's board will take up matter of Crabbe's contract during a meeting on Thursday. The agency declined comment.

Legal experts say they don’t expect OHA to immediately turn over the records or will ask investigators to narrow their request.

“This is a classic definition of what a fishing expedition looks like,” said Ken Lawson, co-director of the Hawai`i Innocence Project at the University of Hawaii’s William S. Richardson School of Law.

“This is chess. So basically, the next move is on OHA to say we're not responding to your request. If you want it, either get a subpoena or get a search warrant."

But while the investigation focus appears to be on OHA's management, Federal Public Defender Peter Wolff said he believes that even trustees are being targeted -

"Mr. Ahuna is being investigated by the FBI," Wolff wrote in a March 14 letter to a federal judge.

OHA POWER GRAB PLANS DISCOVERED  

Please forward this to all Hawaiians and our supporters.

We want to bring to your attention a very significant power struggle that is currently going on behind the scenes at the Office of Hawaiian Affairs.

By now many of you have heard that OHA Chair Robert Lindsey recently suffered a stroke while traveling in the US.

His condition is serious and contrary to OHAʻs public statement, there are presently no plans as yet for his return to Hawai`i.

While we wish Robert Lindsey a full and speedy recovery, questions have arisen as to whether his present condition will allow him to continue to serve as a trustee.

When situations of incapacitation such as this arise at OHA, it is the Vice Chair who temporarily steps into the leadership role.

Trustee Dan Ahuna is the current Vice Chair.

Reliable sources have informed us there is now a power struggle occurring within OHA to oust Dan Ahuna as Vice Chair.

We are told this attempt is being led by trustee Colette Machado.

Sources have revealed the reason for this outrageous attempted power grab is due to the fact that Colette Machado has been at odds with Dan Ahunaʻs position on three very important issues.

First, he is in favor of protecting Mauna Kea. Second, he did not support OHA funding of Kana`iolowalu (the Native Hawaiian Roll) or Na`i Aupuni. Third and most significantly, he has advocated that OHA explore and support other options including independence rather than just US federal recognition.

To those within OHA who are pushing ONLY for US federal recognition, trustee Ahuna is seen as a threat.

In short, trustee Ahuna is currently being undermined by some of his fellow trustees because Vice-Chair trustee Dan Ahuna has not sold out to power and influence.

Sources tell us that Dan Ahuna intends to fight this corrupt power grab and he needs your kokua now.

We urge you to contact the Office of Hawaiian Affairs today to express your support for trustee Ahuna to remain in his Vice Chair position. And let them know you are outraged at the attempt to unseat him.

Please also contact the other OHA trustees with the same message.

Mahalo.
