Vision Group will finally replace its former boss with the former Deputy General of the External Security Organization, Emmanuel Ewaku Allio. He emerged as the best candidate to replace Robert Kabushenga as CEO of the government-owned Vision Group.
In January, Kabushenga announced his retirement from the position. This came after he asked permission from the board to retire early. Sources, however, learned that through a vetting process, Allio emerged as the best replacement for the Industrial Area-based Vision Group.
‘’The vetting process ended with him being the best candidate. I don’t know whether he has been briefed yet but he has been on the list of those looked at as the replacement for Kabushenga,’’ a source who preferred to stay anonymous told reporters.
When asked for a comment, the former war correspondent and investigative writer during William Pike’s reign said he didn’t know about the development. He said nobody had approached him over the issue because he didn’t even apply for the job.
The current director of investment at Operation Wealth Creation said he had no idea of the news.
The recently resigned host of the Morning Show on Nxt Radio also had his name in the race according to reports. Other contenders include Barbara Kaija, the editor in chief of the Vision Group of newspapers. David Mafabi, a presidential aid also appeared on the list.

![[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.
