WHY GRANT BAIL IF YOU KNOW YOU WANT THE SUSPECT LOCKED??

Award winning satirical novelist Kakwenza Rukirabashaija has been rearrested moments after being granted bail by Buganda Road Magistrate's court.

According to deputy lord mayor Doreen Nyanjura, has been rearrested at Kitalya prison and whisked off to an unknown destination by men driving in a black tinted double cabin vehicle.

Kakwenza who is accused of disturbing the peace of President Yoweri Museveni and his son Lt Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba was arrested last year on December 28 from his home in Kisaasi, a Kampala suburb and held incommunicado until January 11, 2022, when he was produced in court on two charges of offensive communication.

Today, Buganda road magistrate Douglas Singiza granted Kakwenza a cash bail of Shs 500,000 and ordered him to deposit his passport for six months as well as barring him from speaking to the media about his case or experience in jail. But as his wife, Eva Basiima rushed to Iganga district in eastern Uganda to fetch his passport, Kakwenza was rearrested.
