http://www.umuvugizi.com/?p=6879&lang=enImelda Marcos of Rwanda: Jeannette Kagame has enriched herself, friends and In-laws. Jeannette Nyiramongi Kagame her lifestyle is identical to the former first lady of Philippines Imelda Marcos As I explore the Jeanette's power and wealth I would like to take the reader of this article to the similarities of these two Iron ladies and extravagance life style. Imelda Marcos is sometimes referred to as the Steel Butterfly or the Iron Butterfly; she is often remembered for symbols of the extravagance of her husband's political reign, including her collection of 2,700 pairs of shoes. Imelda Marcos is well loved by those she shares wealth with; in the same way Jeannette is to her group of thieves who have milked the Rwandan society without mercy. In 2011, Imelda Marcos declared her net worth to be 932.8 million pesos (US$22 million), parliamentary records show, as she continues to fight the government over her assets more than two decades after her husband's reign ended. Imelda is the second-richest Philippine politician behind boxing hero and congressman Manny Pacquiao. Like Imelda Marcos, Jeannette Kagame has amassed wealth through crooks and proxies in order to evade the public scrutiny. It is on record that after Gen Kayumba Nyamwas's falling apart with Kagame, the anger of Kagame and his family extended to the family of Gen. Kayumba Nyamwasa. Rosette Kayumba who jointly owned the Green Hills Academy with Jeannette was stabbed in the back and her shares were sold or taken by Jeanette. Apparently all the business in Rwanda and beyond is conducted by Jeanette or her proxies. Indeed, the wealth and power in Rwanda is in the hands of a clique of few individuals which was called Akazu during Habyarimana's regime. This Akazu has resurfaced in Kagame's regime which includes Jeannette Kagame in the same way as Agatha Kanziga Habyariman operated in her husband's regime. Others on the list of Akazu, are Gen. Jack Nziza(the Maliyamungu of Id Amin) and James Musoni the Minister of Local Government. The list does not spare the most trusted business men who operate business on behalf of Jeannette Kagame or Akazu family. Indeed, these business men are called the Kabuga of Kagame and Family. They include Ntazinda, Rushema, Alexandre, Egide Gatera, Mulefu, Ngarambe just to mention a few. These men have eliminated all other business competitors who are perceived not be RPF sympathizers or just unwanted by the clique. As the Rwandan first lady is trying to catch up with Imelda Marcos whose extravagant lifestyle reportedly included five-million-dollar shopping tours in New York, Rome and Copenhagen in 1983, and sending a plane to pick up Australian white sand for a new beach resort. She also purchased a number of properties in Manhattan in the 1980s, including the $51-million Crown Building, the Woolworth Building (40 Wall Street and the $60-million Herald Centre). However after falling from grace to grass her New York real estate was later seized and sold, along with much of her jewels and most of her 175 piece art collection, which included works by Michelangelo, Botticelli, and Canaletto. She responded to criticisms of her extravagance by claiming that it was her "duty" to be "some kind of light, a star to give the poor guidelines. In almost in the same way, Jeannette Kagame through Eugene Gasana who is now the Rwandan Ambassador to New York from Germany where he was in charge among other official duties was to purchase the latest designs for the first family. He also operated ALTEL on behalf of the first family before his political assignments. Richard Murefu who is Jeannette's brother runs a fleet of business empires on behalf of his sister Jeanerette. Murefu on behalf of Jeannette has bought two largest tea estates. He has also been given the contract of supplying fuel to the Civil Aviation Authority and the Army through the first family proxy of Egide Gatera. Again through Murefu , Jeanette gains from the big concerts organized by the Ministry of Youth under the cover of their company which is in fact jointly owned by the first lady's family. They also own Contact FM the only so called private radio that is awarded all the lucrative contracts of publicity and considered the richest radio second to the National Radio Rwanda. Jeannete Kagame has planted her cronies in all business outlets in the country, for example Jeane Pichette Sayinzoga is the Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Finance who is in fact inexperienced but because of the machinery of the first lady, she was planted there to cover-up their lavish spending and she is believed to be running the Ministry Commerce behind the curtains. Another in-law to the first family Byusa the son of Paul Kagame's elder sister is in charge of many foreign accounts in which the first family deposit their loot. The first family has neither spared Bank Populaire, the clique has planted there Pichette's sister working as the Human Resource Manager and believed, together with the Nziza's spy chief in the same Bank Allan Nsenga masterminded the resignation of the CEO of Banque Populaire du Rwanda (BPR) Herman Klaassen, and his deputy, José Habimana, as a result of financial disagreements. Similarly Flora Nsinga the wife of Richard Murefu (brother of Jeannette) is planted in Bank of Kigali in the Human Resource department and together with James Gatera are entrusted overseeing the economic interests of the first family. The chain of thieving in this country by the first family is endless, the Minister of Health Dr. Agnes Binagwaho who was their family Doctor in charge of their domestic pets, runs the lucrative Health projects funded by the Global Fund in which the Jeannette racket and syndicate swindle a lot of money for their own business empires. Like Imelda Marcos, Jeannette Kagame definitely shall answer to all these corruption charges, when the Marcos family was still in power little did they know that, they will stand trial after their good days in power, in fact Marcos was the first wife of a foreign head of state to stand trial in an American court (Marcos vs. Manglapus). Dear Jeannette take this article very seriously because you might be the next Imelda in Rwandan courts or elsewhere. Posted by editor on Oct 21 2012. Filed under Breaking News, Politics, Top Stories.

Dictators like Kagame who have changed their national constitutions to remain indefinitely on power should not be involved in UN high level and global activities including chairing UN meetings

Thousands of Hutu murdered by Kagame inside Rwanda, e.g. Kibeho massacres
Kagame killed 200,000 Hutus from all regions of the country, the elderly and children who were left by their relatives, the disabled were burned alive. Other thousands of people were killed in several camps of displaced persons including Kibeho camp. All these war crimes remain unpunished.The British news reporters were accompanying Kagame’s fighters on day-by-day basis and witnessed these massacres, but they never reported on this.
25,000 Hutu bodies floated down River Akagera into Lake Victoria in Uganda.
The British irrational, extremist, partisan,biased, one-sided media and politicians have disregarded Kagame war crimes e.g. the Kibeho camp massacres, massacres of innocents Hutu refugees in DR. Congo. The British media have been supporting Kagame since he invaded Rwanda by organising the propaganda against the French over the Rwandan genocide, suppressing the truth about the genocide and promoting the impunity of Kagame and his cronies in the African Great Lakes Region. For the British, Rwanda does not need democracy, Rwanda is the African Israel; and Kagame and his guerilla fighters are heroes.The extremist British news reporters including Fergal Keane, Chris Simpson, Chris McGreal, Mark Doyle, etc. continue to hate the Hutus communities and to polarise the Rwandan society.
Kagame political ambitions triggered the genocide.
Kagame’s guerrilla war was aimed at accessing to power at any cost. He rejected all attempts and advice that could stop his military adventures including the cease-fire, political negotiations and cohabitation, and UN peacekeeping interventions. He ignored all warnings that could have helped him to manage the war without tragic consequences. Either you supported Kagame’ s wars and you are now his friend, or you were against his wars and you are his enemy. Therefore, Kagame as the Rwandan strong man now, you have to apologise to him for having been against his war and condemned his war crimes, or accept to be labelled as having been involved in the genocide. All key Kagame’s fighters who committed war crimes and crimes against humanity are the ones who hold key positions in Rwandan army and government for the last 15 years. They continue to be supported and advised by the British including Tony Blair, Andrew Mitchell MP, and the British army senior officials.
Aid that kills: The British Budget Support financed Museveni and Kagame’s wars in Rwanda and DRC.
Genocide propaganda and fabrications are used by the so-called British scholars, news reporters and investigative journalists to promote their CVs and to get income out of the genocide through the selling of their books, providing testimonies against the French, access to consultancy contracts from the UN and Kagame, and participation in conferences and lectures in Rwanda, UK and internationally about genocide. Genocide propaganda has become a lucrative business for Kagame and the British. Anyone who condemned or did not support Kagame’s war is now in jail in Rwanda under the gacaca courts system suuported by British tax payer's money, or his/she is on arrest warrant if he/she managed to flee the Kagame’s regime. Others have fled the country and are still fleeing now. Many others Rwandans are being persecuted in their own country. Kagame is waiting indefinitely for the apologies from other players who warn him or who wanted to help to ensure that political negotiations take place between Kagame and the former government he was fighting against. Britain continues to supply foreign aid to Kagame and his cronies with media reports highlighting economic successes of Rwanda. Such reports are flawed and are aimed at misleading the British public to justify the use of British taxpayers’ money. Kagame and his cronies continue to milk British taxpayers’ money under the British budget support. This started from 1986 through the British budget support to Uganda until now.
Dictator Kagame: No remorse for his unwise actions and ambitions that led to the Rwandan genocide.
No apologies yet to the Rwandan people. The assassination of President Juvenal Habyarimana by Kagame was the only gateway for Kagame to access power in Rwanda. The British media, politicians, and the so-called British scholars took the role of obstructing the search for the truth and justice; and of denying this assassination on behalf of General Kagame. General Paul Kagame has been obliging the whole world to apologise for his mistakes and war crimes. The UK’s way to apologise has been pumping massive aid into Rwanda's crony government and parliement; and supporting Kagame though media campaigns.
Fanatical, partisan, suspicious, childish and fawning relations between UK and Kagame
Kagame receives the British massive aid through the budget support, British excessive consultancy, sector wide programmes, the Tutsi-dominated parliament, British and Tutsi-owned NGOs; for political, economic and English language expansion to Rwanda. The British aid to Rwanda is not for all Rwandans. It is for Kagame himself and his Tutsi cronies.
