Mityana Municipality Legislator Francis Zaake who is fighting for his life in Rubaga Hospital has ruled out the possibility of producing children again following the grave torture subjected to him by operatives of Military Intelligence at Mbuya.
Speaking on Monday, for the first time in an interview from Rubaga Hospital in Kampala where he is admitted following torture, Zaake opened up on what he called the worst torture he has ever experienced in his lifetime.
An emotional Zaake who at one point had been announced dead while at Kiruddu Hospital broke down revealing the inhuman torture unleashed to him by the merciless regime agents who kept mocking him for supporting Robert Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine as the next President of Uganda.
The legislator, revealed that security operatives at the torture chamber stepped on his head, at the back and kicked him in the ribs as they made him swear that he would never ever again oppose the leadership of President Yoweri Museveni, First Lady Janet and First Son Muhoozi Kainerugaba.
Zaake added that during this time, they made him also swear that he was withdrawing support for Bobi Wine, whom he said soldiers kept saying that he would never rule Uganda.
He said that while blindfolded he was clobbered countless times until his body stopped feeling. “I cried until I lost a voice and my skin couldn’t feel anything.”
Zaake said his crime according to operatives was to appeal to the Kabaka of Buganda and his Katikiro Peter Mayiga to add a voice and condemn the deaths of two people power supporters; Dan Kyeyune and Ritah Nabukenya.
According to Zaake, following days of torture in an isolated chamber, he was eventually put in another cell where he found dozens of people. Among them, he said he was able to identify Voice of Africa journalist he only identified as Katende.
The legislator added that the captives told him that they undergo torture on a daily basis and have been in detention for many years while they are fed on one meal a day.
Zaake revealed that during his torture, he was given one meal of porridge a day while no family member or MP was allowed to see him.
He added that following a court order directing his release, he was allowed to meet Jinja East MP Paul Mwiru. Zaake revealed that when Mwiru saw the state in he was in, he nearly cried and demanded that the legislator be released for medical attention.
