During a presidential press conference held today at the President’s office Village Urugwiro, President Paul Kagame said that Rwanda’s judiciary will soon experience reshuffle.
Kagame was responding to press inquiries about the recent changes that occurred within the cabinet and senate.
The Major changes that occurred recently included the appointment of new Prime Minister Pierre Damien Habumuremyi replacing Bernard Makuza who was also appointed by the president to join the senate.
President Kagame said the changes were meant to benefit the whole country to forge ahead for the country’s development adding that responsible people would find it necessary to adjust in order to attain the intended goals.
“You possibly are aware of other changes that were taking place that have not depended on me like senatorial election that has taken place as by constitution, people have to serve their terms and have to leave and have got to be replaced, that depends on what is stated in the constitution, it doesn’t depend on me,” Kagame said in presidential press briefing.
“In fact in the near future the judiciary will also as by the constitution experience some changes and that doesn’t depend on me, these changes affect what happens elsewhere or what is bound to happen in other institutions. Really whether I wanted it or not, these changes are not influenced by me in any way,” the president added.
Kagame said that the government will continue making changes necessary either by constitution or by assessment through the management processes that exist because there has to be progress and results.
On the issue of Rwanda’s economic status, the president said that regardless the global crisis Rwanda is still stable though it would be a affected due to economic interconnection in today’s global village.
