As of today, James Musoni was dumped by President Paul Kagame. This issue began with stories about Musoni’s extramarital affairs. We do not know what President Kagame will do to James Musoni after the latter was fired as Minister of Infrastructure. But we do know this — Musoni has been untouchable in Rwanda for a very long time. After dictator General Kagame himself, James Musoni was the most feared, and rightly so.
Musoni has been Kagame’s stooge and thieving assistant since 2000. Musoni was the only person to survive and retain high-level and cabinet positions for nearly two decades in the Kagame regime.

It is use and dump. FULL STORY
