Sir, you have successfully managed to confuse me.
You accentuated:".....
"The woman said she resides between Kyebando and Mulago, a Kampala suburbs and that she sells maize in Owino Market."
If I were a Judge , I would very much question This Ms. Areymo's credibility!!!"
So if she dwells there and sells maize at Owino Market then she is not credible?!?!
She mentioned some roles in
Byesigye's campaign and connection to Opoka as well. Perhaps you should ponder there to get better profile?
Ugandan survive in many varied ways. There is nothing wrong with selling maize at Owino, or is there?

This is woman who sells maize at Owino market.she knows not when the said meeting between DR. Bwesigye and "LRA Cammander" took place?...This is another one of those ms. what her name.. the lady who accussed bwesigye of RAPE!kind of tricks.. I would not be terrible suprise if it turns out that Ms. Ayremo's testiment in court as noted below was very much influence by Yoweri Museveni's State House. Perhaps the lady has already obtained "KITU KIDOGO" from under the table for her testiment!!

| Uganda: I Connected Besigye to Kony, Says Witness The Monitor (Kampala) April 6, 2006 Posted to the web April 5, 2006 Solomon Muyita & Hussein Bogere Kampala A FORMER female combatant with Joseph Kony's Lords Resistance Army (LRA) yesterday told the High Court that she helped Dr Kizza Besigye establish links with the rebels in northern Uganda. Jennifer Aryemo, 34, whom the State produced as its first witness in the treason case against the FDC leader and 22 other men said Dr Besigye contacted her soon after the 2001 presidential elections through a one Maj. Salambwa. The lean-bodied woman, who testified in a tough tone in Acholi, claimed that she met several LRA commanders on many occasions to link Besigye with Kony. The meetings were held in the bushes of Gulu with Aryemo, who allegedly kept returning to Kampala together with Salambwa and a one Migadde to brief Besigye on the progress. At one such meeting held in Pawel, one grenade and one landmine were given to Maj Salambwa by a one Onen Kamdur to take to Besigye as proof that
the LRA had weapons. The witness told court she did not know the whereabouts of the two pieces of ammunition. Aryemo also told court that one of Kony's commanders, George Abedo, met with Besigye at his Bukoto office. In all, Aryemo met with the LRA commanders on three occasions. The former captive said that she had earlier on been recruited into Besigye's then Reform Agenda pressure group as a campaign manager among the Acholis in Makindye, Kampala by James Opoka. Aryemo, said to be Col Fearless Obwoya's wife, told court that Maj. Salambwa took her to meet Besigye, in a meeting at Crest House in Kampala. She said there were seven people at the meeting, including Ms Anne Mugisha, and a one Byaruhanga. She could not remember the exact time of the meeting, the day or the month, except that it was during the day and shortly after the March 2001
elections "Dr Besigye told me that the elections had not been fair, they had been rigged. He said he would take the government to court and that he would fight against the government using guns," she claimed. The witness said she is personally known to Kony, who is wanted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes, and most of his top commanders. "I knew these commanders when we were captured from Sacred Heart Senior Secondary School in Gulu in 1991," she said, adding that she was in Senior Four at the time. She said while in the bush, she participated in rebel operations, and remembers times when she and her colleagues were ordered to hack people with machetes "which traumatized me so much." Said the witness: "I saw many SMGs, grenades, G2s. The G2 is a big gun and is used with chains of bullets wrapped all over the body," she
said. The witness said she lived in the bush for three months but escaped around December 1991 and returned home. The woman said she resides between Kyebando and Mulago, a Kampala suburbs and that she sells maize in Owino Market. Proceedings were temporarily halted when Aryemo failed to return to court after lunch. The Judge warned Byabakama that he should advise his witness to get serious. Aryemo re-appeared after 10 minutes of adjournment. Having finished with her testimony, Aryemo will return on Monday for cross-examination by Besigye's lawyers.
