Mukansanga and former Mayor, Theoneste Uwanzwenuwe submitted their resignation letters Friday morning.
Speaking to IGIHE, the Rwanda Investigation Bureau Spokesperson, Modeste Mbabazi said that Mukansaga was arrested yesterday over allegations related to genocide ideology.
“The dossier has been prepared. I think that you have been following news on how she committed genocide related crimes. Today (Friday), she has been arrested and will appear in court on Monday,” he said.
It was said that Mukansanga refused to receive a candle to light the flame of remembrance at the Genocide against the Tutsi commemoration event in Nyabihu District last month.
She reportedly refused to receive the candle and said it should be given to others who have people they commemorate.
Speaking to IGIHE recently, Mukansanga rejected the allegations saying that there were many people who had no candles and suggested that they be first served. She said that people misinterpreted her motion.
