Mr. Harerimana, who had been in the dockets for three years, has confirmed to IGIHE that he submitted his resignation letter Sunday morning to the district\u2019s council President Jean Claude Mvuyikongo.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have resigned for my personal reasons; there isn\u2019t any problem that pushed me to resign. I have done a lot for the time I led the district. Any person can feel tired and want to change the work but it is just for my personal reasons that I have resigned,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am proud of the progress we have attained as the district\u2019s residents and partners and I believe nothing will scroll that back.\u201d<\/p>\n
Harerimana had replaced Oscar Nzeyimana who resigned after an arrest in 2015 over falsification of records about community-based health insurance but he was later acquitted in April 2015 because the prosecution failed to provide sufficient proofs pinning him on the charges.<\/p>\n
Harerimana\u2019s resignation follows the Friday\u2019s resignation of Nyabihu Mayor Th\u00e9oneste Uwanzwenuwe and Vice-Mayor in charge of Social Affairs, Clarisse Mukansanga, both citing personal reasons.<\/p>\n
However, Mukansanga was subsequently arrested on the allegations of genocide ideology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
