President Paul Kagame yesterday evening appointed Teddy Gacinya as a new Senator.
In a statement released by the office of the President stating, “Gacinya has been made the new Senator replacing Aloysia Inyumba who is currently the Minister of Gender and Family Promotion”.
Gacinya will take the oath today August 17, at around 3pm, in the event that will be held at the Parliamentary Building.
Teddy Gacinya has been made a Senator to serve for just a year prior to the end of the term in office for most Senators because they are constitutionally mandated to serve one five year term that is not renewable.
President Kagame also appointed Alfred Gasana as the new Head of the Internal Security in the National Intelligence and Security Services (NISS).
This follows the July 13, this year reshuffle where Col. Dan Munyuza was made the Head of External Intelligence in NISS.
Lawmakers have also replaced late Aimable Nibishaka with Marie Josee Kankera while Amiel Semahundo replaced Alexander Ashinzuwera who was expelled from parliamentary seat recently under what the fellow Parliamentarians termed as “misconduct”.
The controversial legislator who had been elected to represent the youth through delegates electoral college tried to challenge his dismissal in court in vain.
