TUWAYE: Retired Colonel Francis Itabuka ye yali akulira State Research Bureau wakati wa 1974 ne 1977

[@derrickruzima1384]

If I remember what Mukulu Kisoro said, " Itabuka was/is an intelligent man that served under a notorious regime and his sacking, call it transfer from SRB to Mountains of the moon following the escape of what was called the basoga affair from Nile Mansion, marked the the beginning of the bad image of the SRB under the new leadership of Farouk Minawa and Sule "

Well well Ugandans am glad my Uncle has put this to rest, he only served under a wrong regime but personally he's down to earth..that's why NRM released him and asked him to join and he chose to be where he is..you might judge him k, laugh at his house k but never judge a book..he's happy and very apologetic to what took place.

[@sultanmadhani6828]

At least for you. You have an Uncle to look up to. My Uncle was a Pilot. He was a Captain with Uganda Airlines. He was picked by State Research Bureau. That's the last night we saw him. His soul has never rested. We never buried him. Your Uncle can live apologetically..as you want us to know. The M7 government exonerated him...yes indeed. I hope and pray it won't be a case of two birds of a feather. I can be certain..you know very well what happened immediately after the second world war. The Nuremberg Trial. I leave that to you. I read you yapping at those laughing at his house...he's lucky. He has a roof on his head.

[@theafricanliberationagency4652]

So mind boggling and heartbreaking to read your comment and the one you replied to!!.... What can I say? Only praying for you to have a place in your heart to try and forgive and have harmony in your soul. The creator knows best what happened to your uncle, a whole pilot!!...I'm so sorry for you and your family for such a loss coz most likely it altered the trajectory of your lives. I don't know you n U don't know me but please forgive the goons that carried out such acts and let God judge them accordingly @@sultanmadhani6828

He is very careful with what he says but make no mistakes many people lost their lives on his orders however much he can say. During his time i was a student at St Henry's college i know very well this notorious bureau it's impossible to be in that position when you were not a killer and many innocent people were gunned down & tortured under his orders when you just read stories it's easy to agree that he didn't participate but for us we witnessed the horrors committeed by his organisation and was the final man. Anyway am shocked to see him alive.

[@sultanmadhani6828]

He's candid. His body language says it all. No wonder the M7 regime called him and he turned down the invite. When you are bitten by a SNAKE you always get scared of HOLES. Heinous crimes were committed under his watch. He knows every detail. The events have been overtaken by other events. He doesn't want to wake up a sleeping dog. Life is crazy. He's careful about every word he utters. He fears of someone using it to find out their loved ones. Captain Bagyenda was a pilot with Uganda Airlines. He was my UNCLE. He was picked by State Research Bureau. That's the day he was last seen. Year 1977. I was 7 years old. There are many people who never buried their loved ones like us. The best person to ask is such a man. But as you can see him,..he's faining ignorance about what happened. The best course of action would be like what happened immediately after the second world war. The Nuremberg Trial. The Nazi's were hunted around the Globe to stand trial. Until NOW,..the indictments are still standing. But in Uganda, here...the regime gets rid of the other..that's the end. It starts persuing it's own AGENDA. May the souls of those who lost their dear lives under his direct orders REST in PEACE.

Interesting Frank seems to know much about the bureau according to the way he was interviewing Mr. Itabuka but Mr. Itabuka is a proper trained commando tayogera bwa muzaliro. He is not the type who will reveal much to inform the public. It was under his directorship we lost the Archbishop Johan Luwum, Mr. Erunayo Oryema and Oboth Ofumbi. Both were cabinet minister.
