Internal Security Minister, Gen Nyamvumba with President Paul Kagame
President Paul Kagame has dropped Patrick Nyamvumba from his duties as Minister of Internal Security, owing to matters of accountability under investigation- a communique signed by Rwanda's Prime Minister Eduard Ngirente reads in part.
“General Nyamvumba reports back to RDF headquarters pending further decision,” the communique further reads.
Gen. Nyamvumba has not made a year in the position. He was appointed Minister of Internal Security following his removal from Army Chief in a military shake-up on November 4 2019.
