Court orders unconditional release of writer Kakwenza

By Mukembo Wilfred

The Makindye Chief Magistrate’s Court has on Tuesday afternoon ordered for an unconditional release of Novelist Kakwenza Rukirabashaija.

In a Court order dated 4th January, 2022, Grade One Magistrate Irene Nambatya said Kakwenza should be unconditionally released from police custody and every police officer should comply with the order.

Kakwenza was arrested last Tuesday at around 4pm from his home in Kisaasi, a Kampala city suburb by armed men.

Police allege that the writer made offensive communication, under the Computer Misuse Act, against President Yoweri Museveni and his son, Lt Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba, who doubles as the Commander of Land Forces, between December 23, 2021 and December 26, 2021.
