Rwigema to be questioned

    NAIROBI

    The Rwandan parliament on Wednesday recommended that former prime minister Pierre-Celestin Rwigema be questioned by the National Unity and Reconciliation Commission, on charges of obstructing members of parliament from performing their duties, news agencies reported. Rwigema resigned on 28 February after parliament summoned him to answer corruption charges dating from the time he was education minister. “I am yet to be briefed on the parliamentary resolution,” Alosea Inyumba, executive director of the unity and reconciliation commission, told IRIN. “The commission will make a decision after getting details,” he said.
