“These responsibilities are not new to us. We have experienced a lot to help us not repeat our past mistakes. Instead, we need to devise new, innovative ways that are adept to the times we are in and deliver on our promises.,” Kagame said.
The Head of State added that the weight for all of that should be understandable to all, urging them to use their experience to serve even better in their new capacities.
Other government officials who were sworn-in today are Lt. Gen. Mubarakh Muganga, the Army Chief of Staff and Col Jean Paul Nyirubutama, the Deputy Head of National Intelligence and Security Services (NISS).
