Kagame pledges probe into murder of presidential adviser

    NAIROBI

    Vice-President and Defence Minister Paul Kagame on Thursday pledged there would be an investigation to track down the killers of presidential adviser Aciel Kabera, who was shot dead in his car in Kigali on Sunday night in what political analysts have said was “clearly a political killing.” Kagame was speaking at Kabera’s funeral at Remera Cemetery in the Rwandan capital, Radio Rwanda reported on Friday. Kabera had apparently told members of his family he feared for his life as Rwandan officials had linked him with the former parliamentary speaker, Joseph Sebarenzi Kabuye, who fled the country, accused of monarchist sentiments.
