(From The Monitor (Uganda): AAGM)

Byline: Ogen Kevin Aliro

When The Monitor last week celebrated 10 years, I was overcome by sentimental reflections about those early days at the Entebbe Road basement office where the paper was born on July 24, 1992.

It was tough.

Six of us (Jimmy Serugo, Wafula Oguttu, Ogen Kevin Aliro, Charles Onyango-Obbo, David Ouma Balikowa and the late Richard Tebere) had resigned our jobs at the Weekly Topic in return for a "freer" but less certain future.

The Monitor started as a weekly, but few thought it would survive beyond the first issue. Optimists gave us only three weeks.

In a sense even the pessimists were right. None of us had anything that could pass for an "asset". We all lived in rented houses, and did not even own bicycles.
