Two Nyamagabe local leaders resign a few days out of jail

Nyamagabe District Mayor Bonaventure Uwamahoro says that he has got wind of their resignation, but has not yet seen their letters.

“I have learned about it but I have not yet seen the letters,” he said.

He added that in order for a district secretary executive to resign, the process first goes through the Advisory Council to confirm or reject the request. Meanwhile, a division manager may resign after writing a letter to the District Mayor and getting feedback, he said.

The duo has resigned shortly after they were put in jail on embezzlement charges after which they were tried and found not guilty. They resumed their jobs thereafter.

Twayituriki was put in jail on June 17, 2018, for falsifying official documents with the intent to earn un-deserving per diem.

Later on July 3, 2018, Nyamagabe Intermediate Court ruled that he be released on bail for illness issues among others.

Jean Bosco Ngabonziza the district division manager, was jailed on September 6, 2018, along with two other Nyamagabe District staffs including an accountant and a development affairs officer who are also accused of embezzling government funds.

On September 21, 2018, Kagarama Court in Kicukiro District ruled that Division Manager Jean Bosco Ngabonziza and the two other staffers be released because the accusations against them were groundless.
