The Infamous Afande Christopher Aine Once Again Disappears after Been Appointed the Deputy Resident City Commissioner (DRCC) for Mbarara.

Christopher Aine, the former bodyguard of the ex-premier and former presidential aspirant Amama Mbabazi, has been appointed Deputy Resident City Commissioner for Mbarara city by president Museveni.

Aine was appointed on June 23 to deputize Lt Col James Mwesigye in Mbarara.

Lt Col Mwesigye confirmed the news of his junior’s appointment and added he was happy to work with “whomever the government deems fit for the position”.

However, Nile Post understands that Aine reported to the office on July 5^th, 2021, and has since not returned to the office.

When asked about his deputy’s absence, Lt Col Mwesigye said it was better we contact Aine for any other information.

“If you want any further information about Aine, wait for him and do an interview.”

Aine became famous during the 2016 presidential campaign trail in which he was the bodyguard to Amama Mbabazi.

His fame was highlighted in the infamous Ntungamo District clash between supporters of the NRM and those of Amama Mbabazi.

Museveni later speaking about the clashes promised to have all those involved apprehended, sparing strong words for Aine whom he said was in “hiding due to being misguided”.

“Mbabazi is lying, Aine is hiding. I do not want to say Mbabazi is hiding him but he has people hiding him. He was caught on camera beating people but he will pay for his actions. We have received so many investigations pinning him,” Museveni said in the aftermath of the chaos.

Shortly after, Aine was arrested and went missing. Pictures were circulated showing a body that looks like Aine in a city morgue causing rumors that he had died.

He was mourned by his family and friends only to show up later from his hiding.

He was informally appointed an aide to President Museveni’s brother Salim Saleh and recently threatened to stand against President Museveni in the presidential elections but his threats did not materialize.

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

The elimination of using National IDs (Ndagamuntu) for the 2021 elections should not have come as a surprise. One would be very NAIVE to think that Bobi Wine has not prepared for this in his Business Plan under the RISK section. It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent. It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election. What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu". We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa. Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services. Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu. Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service. If you have not been denied registering your child i...

They are used to doing other things. But somehow they managed to act properly, I was surprised.” When they [SFC] went where this young man was in the room, he had ca...
