Christopher Aine , the former head of security for Amama Mbabazi‘s Go Forward campaign team, has resurfaced after a disappearance of nearly four months during which time many had thought him dead.
The Christopher Aine enigma which gripped the nation for four months was the perfect subplot of an election where the former premier Amama Mbabazi contested against his erstwhile ally the president.
Aine, a son of Maj. Julius Aine who was amongst the 41 NRA combatants who attacked Kabamba barracks on Feb. 6th 1981 became the embodiment of a groundswell of resentment against the regime.
His family felt aggrieved and neglected yet his late father who died in a motor accident had made the ultimate sacrifice.
When Aine disappeared, he became the venerated symbol of martyrdom when an image purportedly showing his corpse surfaced.
Aine says he decided to return to Uganda from hiding in Tanzania, where he says he had run to to escape state security agents intent on harming him, after he got tired of being on the run.
He surrendered himself to General Salim Saleh whom he hopes will broker a favourable treatment for him after he is handed over the law enforcement agencies that had put a multi-million bounty on his head.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
