Ntibitura previously served as the Director General in charge of Internal Security within the National Intelligence and Security Service.
This leadership change follows the resignation of several officials in Karongi District, including the former District Mayor, Mukase Valentine; the Vice Mayor in charge of Economic Affairs, Théophile Niragire; as well as the Chairperson of the District Advisory Council, Donatha Dusingize. They all stepped down, citing personal reasons.
At the time, the Minister of Local Government, Patrice Mugenzi, told RBA that the officials had submitted resignation letters stating that their decisions were personal.
He said, 'Based on the letters I reviewed, they resigned voluntarily and indicated that they were unable to fulfill their assigned responsibilities. Therefore, they decided to step aside to allow others to provide better services to the citizens.'
Regarding reports that other staff members from Karongi District had also submitted resignations, Minister Mugenzi clarified that he had not yet received any such letters.
'However, not all staff members in Karongi District have performed well. If the district leadership admits that they have failed to deliver quality services, it implies that some employees have also been unable to execute their duties effectively. Therefore, an ongoing assessment will continue to evaluate how these staff members serve the public,' he added.
