Leaders that will be found bullying citizens and also involved in immoral activities shall be fired from their positions of responsibility.
The warning was issued by Prime Minister Pierre Damien Habumuremyi while touring districts of Risizi and Nyamasheke where he also visited some of the income generating activities.
“I warn leaders who bully citizens with an excuse of implementing government policies yet there better ways of communicating to their people,” he remarked.
Habumuremyi explained that poor governance can’t sustain development since it encourages corruption, disputes and insecurity.
Habumuremyi further condemned acts of the recently sacked Vice-Mayor in charge of social affairs at Rusagara, Mbazi sector, “I heard through media reports that this (vice) Mayor was involved corrupt activities and harassing farmers by forcefully confiscating their farm produce.”
“This is not the only case because I’ve been hearing over radios about similar cases about local leaders. This can’t continue,” he remarked.
Citizens are advised to report cases of bad governance, injustice and corruption to relevant authorities especially the ombudsman office.
