Prof. Charles Kambanda ‘s take on #RURA‘s statement : This statement came less than 6 hours after the Minister of foreign affairs made a similar statement ” condemning” NEC decision to stop presidential candidates from posting campaign material on social media without approval.
Interestingly, NEC announced this decision some weeks ago. No government official disassociated himself or herself from that primitive decision until the European Union – Rwanda’s major donor – came out officially to condemn NEC’s decision.
Clearly, after the EU dropped the hammer, there is panic in the house. Kagame has no choice but to listen to the EU otherwise the dollar tap will be turned off.
Forget the old arrogant Kagame; the guy has no money to run his extravagant junta. He needs EU money after they smoked him from DRC mines. Now that his sponsors, the Clintons, cannot strike deals for him to get money from the US gov. Reality has reduced Kagame to manageable size.
The next Kagame junta statement over this problem will probably come from NEC itself; saying that they NEVER issued such order.
