Why does rubuta appear without a subject like ka or ku?

Because rubuta here is being used as an imperative: a command or instruction.

In Hausa, commands often appear as just the verb itself, especially in neutral instructions:

• Zo. = Come.
• Tafi. = Go.
• Rubuta ƙorafi. = Write a complaint.

English also often drops the subject in commands:

• Sit down.
• Wait here.

The subject is understood as you. So Hausa is doing something very similar here.
