In an exclusive interview with igihe.com, Alexandre Dumas Ashinzwuwera who was since Monday July 18, fired from the lower chambers of the parliament, says that he doesn’t know really why he was unanimously relieved of his duties and has decided to seek the possible solutions to the ongoing challenges facing him from the supreme court.
Igihe.com: Can you tell us about your age and marital status?
Ashinzwuwera : By now I am 28 Years old and I am still a bachelor.
Igihe.com: For how long have you been a member of the parliament and how did you find the position at such an early age?
Ashinzwuwera : I have been an MP for two years and ten months, for me the position is good, you are aware that when you are doing something new in your life, you learn many things that will contribute to your daily life in future, so for me the position was very good.
Igihe.com: There is some information indicating that up to the time you were sacked on what your Honourable colleagues termed “improper conduct”. What does that mean and why?
Ashinzwuwera : For sure from when this information was in the Media, I was not aware about it as I didn’t receive any official information from the chamber. But after I called one of the Deputy Speakers to confirm if that was true or false, he confirmed and immediately I decided to go to Parliament verify Official Document regarding the plenary session decision. Some times when things happen out of your control, you don’t have to think why It happened like that, but you just focus on what can done about It, that’s all.
Igihe.com: What was the document you picked from the parliament saying and when did you pick it?
Ashinzwuwera: I received it on Tuesday July 19 at 5:35 PM, it’s just a decision of Plenary session held at Plenary session hall on Monday, July 18, maybe in the evening, as it was announced publically on Rwanda Radio and RTV.
Igihe.com: Why do you think they continue following you like that, starting from the time in the custody accusing you of illicit behaviour? Do you think it’s because you were from a different political party like some people say?
Ashinzwuwera: You know the Public says whatever they want to say and in the way they want, It’s their right, as well as anyone who needs to know the truth about issues of public concern. I believe that all in life is possible, and whenever things are out of your control, anything can happen. So for that reason I do not focus on why things are happening to me, I just focus on the answers to the challenges. I am just clearing my name and fighting for the truth to be well known.
Igihe.com: That’s great. So according to the information we have you crossed from the PSP political party to the ruling RPF, is that true?
Ashinzwuwera: That’s right.
Igihe.com: When did you cross over and what enticed you particularly?
Ashinzwuwera :I did cross over to the RPF when the mandate for the current MPs started, but our political party was in coalition with RPF even before. What inspired me particularly is being in the same team that is doing the great job to our nation and also being part of problem solvers, that’s all.
Igihe.com: What do you say about the information in the public and with your colleagues that you misbehaved yet you are a legislator who should be playing a good example to the people you are representing?
Ashinzwuwera:The truth about the issue is well known for those who follow my Case and if you would like to be among them, I am happy to invite you there follow court proceedings, next hearing will be on Tuesday July 26, 2010. So I hope to see you there then you will judge yourself based on what you will hear from the court.
Igihe.com: Would you mind telling what encouraged you to join politics?
Ashinzwuwera: Not really. All I can say is that I’m a scientist by profession and a politician by conviction; I’m a graduate in software engineering from Marylebone University. Among my top inspirations people is H.E Paul Kagame. The President Inspired me in all my efforts and daily activities, his Words in his Speeches are full of Genuine Ideas and encouraging proverbs. He once said: “If you tell lies about me, that is exactly the truth about you” I really can’t miss his Speech for even a Second.
Igihe.com: Ok anything else to tell the igihe.com on behalf of the public?
Ashinzwuwera :I’m Just encouraging you to report to the Public what they need to know, I mean the News that matter for Public interests not like news of the world like that of UK and other sensational Local News Papers or Radios. Good Bye for now and hope to see you in my next appearance at the Low Court of Nyamirambo
Igihe.com: Yeah and that’s great and I wish you luck.
