The Independent Uganda: You get the Truth we Pay the Price
Kigali, Rwanda | THE INDEPENDENT | President Paul Kagame has fired his foreign affairs state minister Ambassador Olivier Nduhungirehe.
A statement from the office of the Rwanda Prime Minister said Nduhungirehe was fired “for consistently acting based on personal opinions over government policies, while serving as Minister of State in the Ministry of Foreign affairs and International cooperation in charge of East African African Community.”
Outspoken Nduhungirehe has been leading the Kigali team in talks to normalise relations with Uganda, that broke to the level of Rwanda closing the border last year.
“I am grateful to President Kagame for the trust bestowed in me for the past two years an a half, when I was privileged to serve as Minister of State in charge of the East African Community. I am committed to continue serving my country in another capacity,” said after news of his sacking was announced.
The development in Kigali, comes less than 24 hours after Uganda’s Senior Presidential Adviser for Special Operations Lt. Gen Muhoozi Kainerugaba said the two countries have no reason to fight each other.
“Brothers,Comrades and Revolutionaries can quarrel but they should never fight. We have come from very far. I wish His Excellency General Kagame and the people of Rwanda a solemn and respectful kwibuka,” Muhoozi said as Rwanda remembered all those who died in the genocide in the 90s.
