New justices sworn in for top courts

President Paul Kagame has advised newly sworn-in justice sector officials to be the first to observe the law. He was officiating at the swearing-in of judges in the Supreme Court, the Court of Appeal and the High Court, as well as senior officials from the Rwanda Investigation Bureau. The New Times reports that Jean-Bosco Kazungu and Isabelle Kalihangabo were instated as Supreme Court judges. Xavier Ndahayo and Angeline Rutazana were deployed to the Court of Appeal, and Jean-Pierre Habarurema was sworn in as president of the High Court. Consolée Kamarampaka was sworn in as Deputy Secretary-General of the bureau. ‘We know our history – what lacked in regards to justice and affected the politics of the country and the lives of Rwandans. I believe we know this so well enough that we learned many lessons that will make us work better for our country,’ Kagame said.
