General Kabarebe said this on Friday during the commemoration in respect of former employees of the Ministry of Transport and Communication (MINITRANSCO) and Public Works and Energy (MINITRAPE) currently merged under the Ministry of Infrastructure (MININFRA) killed during the 1994 Genocide against Tutsi.
Gen Kabarebe told MININFRA employees that since 1957 Rwanda had the misfortune of bad leaders who promoted genocide ideology until its execution of genocide in 1994.
He said that genocide ideology is like cancer likely to affect the whole body if not burnt.
“Even a thief that fled the country, leans on genocide ideology. A neighbor intending to destabilize Rwanda has no other choice other than assuming that Rwandans can be divided easily referencing to the genocide that took place. That is how they understand it but the strong foundation has been already built. Institutions with zero tolerance to genocide ideology were put in place,” he said.
“Those outsiders have no power to fight Rwanda. However, they cause one problem. Even one person with genocide ideology is like cancer in the body. There are apparatuses that burn cancer in the body. This is what we should do. Even if one person is tracked with genocide ideology, it must be burnt lest it spreads,” he said.
The Minister of Infrastructure, Amb. Claver Gatete said that employees of the ministry received enough explanations during the commemoration week helpful to tackle genocide ideology.
He said it will enhance their contribution to building the country and empowering Rwandans.
165 former employees of Mantraps and Minitransco are reported to have been killed during the 1994 Genocide against Tutsi.
