KAMPALA — Former president Godfrey Binaisa’s divorced Japanese wife Tomoko Yamamoto is still in the country and her property is at their marital home in Muyenga. A private company, I.I associates, which is in charge of her stay, refused to disclose her whereabouts and when she would leave the country. Their marriage ended after Bianaisa refused Yamamoto’s plea to donate 150 acres of land to the Moon Church. Last week, Binaisa moved out of his house and gave Yamamoto up to today to quit.
Garang here

Chameleone
KAMPALA — The Police bond given to local artiste Jose Chameleone has been extended to August 5. The deputy O/C CID for Kampala Extra, Charles Tumwesigye, said chame-leone failed to record a statement before leaving the country.
