Members of judicial fraternity have seen off the former boss of Supreme Court Aloysea Cyanzayire who has been serving as chief justice for a non renewable term of 8 years.
The out-going chief justice advised the in-coming Chief Justice Prof. Sam Rugege who has been her deputy to continue where she had reached in efforts to reform judiciary.
It is not a new challenge though, since Rugege has been in the system working hand-in-hand with Cyanzayire as the deputy chief Justice.
Meanwhile the government has welcomed Prof. Sam Rugege as a new chief justice according to the statement from the upper chamber of parliament.
The upper chamber of parliament has confirmed the two appointed senior officials of Supreme Court Prof. Sam Rugege as Chief Justice and Deputy Chief Justice Sylvie Zainabo Kayitesi who has been the head of Rwanda Human Rights Commission.
Recently, the two were nominated by President Paul Kagame and presented to the recent cabinet meeting for approval.
The senate also approved Prof. Shyaka Anastase as the Director General of the newly created Rwanda Governance Board.
Regis Gatarayiha, was confirmed as the head of Rwanda Utilities Regulatory Agency (RURA) while Yusuf Murangwa approved as Director General of National Institute of Statistics of Rwanda.
