Our District has been appearing before parliamentary Public Accounts Committee (PAC) for two years consecutively over poor management, and then we decided to dismiss him from district council. Being dismissed from the council simply means that he is no longer the mayor, because District mayor comes from district council\u201d Ndahindurwa explained.<\/p>\n<p>He said that a member of the district council should be trustworthy, he said, for Mugisha following charges of suspected involvement in, mismanagement they could not trust him again. <\/p>\n<p> \u201cAmong factors that should characterize us include holding Rwandan values. The prime value is patriotism. When a person has defied these values, you can no longer trust him\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The vice-mayor in-charge of economic development will take over in the interim regime as they wait elections for new mayor. <\/p>\n<p>The decision was submitted to the Southern Province leadership which will take last decision in not more than seven days. <\/p>\n<p>Mugisha and five district officials including former District Executive Secretary, Jean Pierre Nshimiyimana were arrested last week over embezzlement and involvement in shoddy tenders.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-22772 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/mugisha.jpg\" alt=\"Nyamagabe mayor, Mugisha suspended \" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following last week\u2019s arrest of Nyamagabe District Mayor, Philbert Mugisha and five more officials, the district council has taken a decision to sack him from the job <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[72],"byline":[170],"hashtag":[],"class_list":["post-36315","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-featured-news-home","byline-igihe"],"bylines":[{"id":170,"name":"IGIHE","slug":"igihe","description":"","image":{"id":0,"url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&f=y&r=g","alt":"Default avatar","title":"Default avatar","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","sizes":[]},"user_id":8}],"contributors":[{"id":170,"name":"IGIHE","slug":"igihe","description":"","image":{"id":0,"url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&f=y&r=g","alt":"Default avatar","title":"Default avatar","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","sizes":[]},"user_id":8}],"featured_image":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36315","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=36315"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36315\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36315"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36315"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36315"},{"taxonomy":"byline","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/byline?post=36315"},{"taxonomy":"hashtag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hashtag?post=36315"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
