The Ugandan Police are holding novelist Rukirabashaija Kakwenza on allegations of offensive communication after a series of tweets about popular individuals that detectives are yet to name. 

Kakwenza, famous for his novel The Greedy Barbarian, is being held in an undisclosed location and neither his lawyers nor his relatives have been able to access him.
