Lt. Gen. Fred Ibingira, the chief of staff of the Reserve Forces, Brig. Gen. Richard Rutatina, the military intelligence chief, Brig. Gen. Wilson Gumisiriza, commander of the Rwanda Defence Forces 3rd Division, and Col. Dan Munyuza, head of external intelligence, were placed under confinement on January 18 this year. President Kagame toldUgandajournalists that the officers were arrested over indiscipline. 

Kagame did not disclose what acts of indiscipline his military officers were involved in. However the accused army generals have told our informers in Kigali that none of them has ever participated in wrong dealings. The generals have also denied intelligent reports that they were secretly working to over throw the government inKigali.

For instance, the police have today arrested a 19 year old student from Ntale school while impersonating Gen. Salim Saleh. Mike Mugarura was arrested by the police in Mbarara as he was conning a man in Mbarara of 250,000 shillings. Mugarura had introduced himself to this man of Rwandan origin that he was Gen. Salim Saleh and he would help his son to get a job at Bank of Uganda if he gave him 250,000 shillings.

Mugarura’s luck ran out as he had gone to collect the money and the police arrested him instead. He was arrested after the Rwandan man told one of his friends that Gen. Saleh was going to pick 250,000 from him.

His friend wondered how Saleh would collect 250,000 shillings just to get someone a job. The friend to this Rwandan man told him that Mugarura was a conman so they tipped police which arrested him on the arrival.
