Tito Lutaya, a son of Ibulaimu Byakweyamba, (Government Chief Nasuuti/Kaliro in Busoga – a Muganda Colonial officer) and Tezira Nabbosa was born in 1900. He sat his National Exams in 1919 at Ndejja Central School and was the best student in the country – beating his nearest rival by 100 marks, according to, “Ebifa Mu Uganda”, Vol 159 April 1920.

According to the Admission list published therein, Tito had to wait for a year before he could join Kings College Budo, (despite his excellent performance) since all scholarships had been reserved for Ex-soldiers (Abatabaazi) who were demobilized soldiers returning from the First World War which ended in 1918.

Tito Lutaya was posted to Kasaka Central School becoming the first Budonian to work for Butambala and Gomba in around 1929 at 29 years old. He taught at Kasaka and helped propagate hygiene/public health, agricultural practices, football, and other social responsibilities to the raw population. He persuaded households to sacrifice at least one boy for his school. That way he campaigned patiently until he convinced the local Muslim preacher to send his son to a Christian school run by the Native Anglican Church.

Tito’s home became a hostel to over 20 boys from Busoga/Ankole/Buganda/Toro/Bunyoro etc., who would be sent by their parents to attend school and had nowhere to live. As there were only 6 teachers for 6 classes when he became headmaster, he continued teaching his preferred P.5 class. This was before administration, which involved collecting school fees, banking, and teachers' wages in Kampala.

In 1938, after the church intervened, Tito was matched and married to Jastin Eleanor M. Namusoke a product of Gayaza High School also posted to Kasaka Girls School from Jungo. She became headmistress of the girl’s school but avidly advocated merging the two schools. When they merged in the sixties, she became a senior woman teacher. She was way ahead of her time in the rural conservative setting and all her ideas were considered too European by the natives. She was a new phenomenon, a person who would encourage girls to play sports with the boys, she persuaded couples to join the YWCA for reading/writing lessons, cooking lessons, hygiene, childcare, religion, acting, and agriculture among others. This was sacrilege and she was condemned by society.

Mrs. Lutaya became an outcast in a colonial outpost of the native Anglican Church, due to her unacceptable style. However, she was energetic in farming and taught this to all the boys and girls who lived in the Lutaya household; skills that would later be appreciated and accepted by society as people realized the good that was transforming their households through the teachings and training that families got through the YWCA under Lutaya’s persuasion.

Tito Lutaya built and donated a wing at Kasaka Primary School which stands today although in bad condition. The Lutayas taught most if not all the children of Kasaka in their early 60s now or late 70s. They left a mark on the community which was carried on through their children Abram & Robinah Lutaya, Philly Bongoley Lutaaya, Moses Kimbowa Lutaaya, and Martha Najjemba Lutaaya at both local and National levels, especially in the sectors of education, sports development, and the fight against HIV/AIDS.

Now the responsibility to continue with the legacy to inspire hope in the Gomba community has been passed on to their grandchildren through the Lutaya Dream Resource Foundation.
