{{The Minister of Local Government (MINALOC) James Musoni has reaffirmed to Rwandans that nobody will destabilise the country and go un-noticed.}}
Musoni made the remarks on April 22nd in an emergency meeting organised by MINALOC involving all governors, district mayors and various leaders aimed at discussing the increased reports of people engaging in subversive activities that aim at destabilising the country.
The Northern Province has recently been a focal point of grenade attacks and reports of local leaders alleged to be closely collaborating with the FDLR rebels.
Recently over six local leaders in Northern Province were arrested in connection with collaborating with the FDLR rebels based in DR-Congo. The leaders are accused of aiding and executing grenade attacks in Musanze district.
The Governor of Northern Province Bosenibamwe Aime told the officials at the meeting that the Executive Secretary of Cyve Sector who was arrested recently had been travelling to DRCongo and meeting with the FDLR rebels.
The Executive secretary would later return to Rwanda with grenedes and other military wear that has been used to launch several attacks in the district.
Governor Bosenibamwe says the Cyuve Executive Secretary was behind most of the subversive activities in the district and recruiting others to work for FLDR.
Minister Musoni noted that the stability of Rwanda is not measure on just one Executive secretary. “There are 416 executive secretaries in the country thus the negative activities of only one local leader cannot be used to measure the stability of the country,” he said.
The Minsiter explained that citizens are well enlightened and would not accept such negative activities from a few local leaders that jeopadise the general security.
He further said there is no security problem in Rwanda and that people collaborating with negative groups are not only those of Northern province but some in other parts of the country.
During the meeting, the Mayor of Rusizi Bahame Hassan refuted rumours that claimed he had been arrested in connection with collaborating with FDLR rebels.
