Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>The Vice Mayor of Rusizi District in Charge of Economic Development, Ndagijimana Louis Munyemanzi, has resigned from his post, and three other district councilors, citing \u201cpersonal reasons\u201d.<\/p>\n

This was announced during an extraordinary meeting held by the District Council on Tuesday, April 2, after reviewing their resignation letters.<\/p>\n

Other district councilors who resigned from their responsibilities are Jose\u0301phine Mukarugwiza, Head of the Social Affairs Commission, Jean Damasce\u0300ne Habiyakare, Head of the District Council Audit Committee, and Giovani Fidele Kwizera, the Vice President of the Rusizi District Council.<\/p>\n

According to Monique Uwimana, Secretary of the District Council, the resignations of the four councilors are linked to personal reasons as per their letters.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe received their resignation letters as district councilors, resigning from even other separate responsibilities, we reviewed them in that way based on the cited personal reasons, as councilors, we confirmed their resignations,\u201d she said while briefing journalists.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen someone has shown their interest in resignation under personal reasons, there is no reason to hold them; it can result in poor performance.\u201d<\/p>\n

Asked if the resignation wouldn\u2019t affect the district’s performance, she said the remaining members would cover the gap and look for a way forward as per the law.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is true, like any other district across Rwanda, councilors are always 17. It means that when one is missing, their position is empty, and their responsibilities are shared by their colleagues to avoid any gap. There could be a gap, as councilors will be overwhelmed,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Uwimana further said that the remaining district council is \u201cgoing to see what the law provides and what it says when a councilor resigns and then implement it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The development comes following another resignation by Beatrice Uwumukiza who was the Head of the Rusizi District Council.<\/p>\n

She resigned after reportedly having a misunderstanding with the district\u2019s mayor, Anicet Kibiriga, in a case linked to the commemoration of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Kamembe and Mururu sectors, and the Genocide memorial site in Nyarushishi village, Nkungu sector.<\/p>\n
