Was Their Anything To Gain From The Torture of Kakwenza?

Kakwenza Reveals How He Escaped Out Of Uganda

Posted by: Kyeyune Andrew Jonathan in Uganda news February 11, 2022

Ugandan author Kakwenza Rukirabashaija who recently faced charges of insulting President Yoweri Museveni and his son Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba fled the country on Wednesday.

Kakwenza says that while in custody, he faced torture after his December arrest. The public has been wondering how a man with no passport managed to leave the country.

During an online interview with NTV, Kakwenza said he left the country using the porous borders and entered Rwanda. It’s from Rwanda that he connected to Malawi and later into another African country that he did not disclose.

“I am in a safe place in Africa and I am currently working on getting an international passport that I will use to go to Europe for specialized treatment,” he said.

The author in hiding said he would only return to Uganda after receiving treatment in Germany or Canada.

“After getting medical treatment that I’m entitled to, I’ll return to Uganda and through Entebbe Airport. Let the senile dictator, his inebriated curmudgeon son, and all the caboodle of their chamchas know!” he said.

Judiciary spokesperson Jameson Karemani said the court will decide the fate of Kakwenza’s sureties when the hearing of the case starts in March.

Court granted Kakwenza bail on January 25, on charges of offensive communication by the Buganda Road Chief Magistrates Court.

The court, however, withheld his passport as one of the conditions to ensure that he doesn’t abscond from the trial by running away.

That, apparently, didn’t appear to work!
