Gilbert Niyonshuti the Executive Secretary of Kagasha Cell, Gatsibo District have been fired for the alleged corruption.
His sacking came at a time when residents had begun protesting over his corrupt behavior that frustrated them and the cell had unsolved land disputes.
“Days after I received a title deed for my land, Niyoshuti refused my ownership of the land and instead gave it to my rival, this was total injustice and I believe he was bribed,” said Esdras Sibomana one of the complainants.
The mayor of Gatsibo District Embroize Ruboneza, said that Niyoshuti was fired because he showed less capacity in dealing with issues in his territory.
“It’s true Kagasha cell has numerous cases ranging from land disputes to robbery and domestic violence,” he confirmed.
Ruboneza further pointed out that local leaders in the cell are going to be empowered to solve backlog cases in Kagasha.
He also advised residents to avoid being part of corrupt deals since it facilitated poor governance.
However, some residents are not satisfied with the expulsion of Niyoshuti but rather heavy want punishments against him.
“Firing him is not enough, how can someone who has been involved in gross corruption deals gets away without his mistakes being put to light,” said Ahishakiye.
