Meet ” Team PK”‘ s new fixer: Mr.Tidjane Thiam. Ivorian French, Grand Officier de la legion d’ honneur, former CEO of Credit Suisse, one of the 9 most trusted ” wealth management” institution, renowned for its secretive practices and “a very important member of the global world economic system”. Mr. Tidjane Thiam who has seen his share of controversies over his career in the world of the powerful is definitely an asset to Rwanda’s coterie of hired foreign technocrats. Rwanda was in dire need of a fixer of Mr. Thiam’s caliber after years of statistic doctoring and PR mongering! Will he manage to stay on the job long enough for the complete restructuring of institutions needed to ease the urban poor and rural Rwanda out of poverty and hunger?

As his opposition continues to clamor and rely on foreign intervention to his internal politics that will probably never happen, Kagame, who they have claimed dead and terminally ill on numerous occasions, marks big points by bringing Mr. Thiam’s financial expertise to Rwanda. Here is hoping that the greed and intrigues in his entourage will allow the expert to do his job, that he will leave Rwanda better than he found it, and, of course, that he is not a French agent in disguise.
