Mpinganzima the mother of baby Kagame said that they have named their son after the president for three reasons.
She said, “first of all I support the President, secondly, our baby was born on National heroes’ Day, lastly, in 2009 when the President came to Nyanza I didn’t see him due to the big crowd which affected me with my pregnancy and I left without seeing him.”
She said that she has never seen President Paul Kagame face to face except hearing his voice over the radio,“I wish I could meet him. I want my son to be a hero like him.”
However, Mpinganzima says, “I am now worried of my action for I did so without Presidents permission.”
The father had named the baby Paul Manzi and the mother added Kagame and the baby’s full name is Manzi Paul Kagame.
Kabwana is a soldier in the Rwanda Defence forces in the 14th battalion at Ngororero.
