The Rwandese High commissioner’s wife Leonia encouraged a spy to commit fraud in the UK

The interference of the Rwandese High commisioner and his wife in the UK has caused more conflict within the Rwandese community, enclosed is a an article written by one of the Rwandese community members who is concern about the situation.

 

After the caution and warning by one concerned member of the Rwandese Community in UK in the article “Arrogance gone too far” was published about two month ago, I was intrigued and decided to get to the bottom of this issue.  My findings are not just amazing but rather disappointing.  I think everyone with goodwill should thank the person who brought the issue to Inyenyeri News readers’ attention.  Some good things have started to happen.  It also triggered more focus on the dynamics that impact the social fabric within the community.  A lot more disturbing issues, that need to be exposed, have been revealed in the process.

We have three categories of characters in our community.  Those who honestly feel and understand that a strong community is based on mutual respect, transparency, open mindedness, collaboration and collective approach to issues facing the members that are real or potential.  There is a second category that is made up of those that believe in intrigue, ‘back stabbing’, defamation, sycophancy, gossip, and sadism (having joy in others being in difficulty).  The third category is those who are innocent and ignorant of what a community should be and the advantages of having it, the passive ones.  The political forces have tried to exploit this scenario and created a bed lock for the second category that thrives on sycophancy, to weaken the community.  However after the last article, there are good signs that the first category has been galvanised and encouraged to prevail.

Thanks to the leadership of Madam Colly Mullisa and her team, they have brought most of their male colleagues in the leadership of the present committee to join hands with the first category to stand up to the second category for the betterment of the community.  We all need to give them our unreserved support and appreciate their efforts in rebuilding our community.  We should all support their resolve to remove politics from our community, like the UK Laws regarding Communities or Charities obligate.  They have started this by asking the Rwandan High Commissioner to UK for backing off from community affairs, in a message the Chair verbally passed to His Excellency the High Commissioner.  They are organising a come together event planned for 26^th October this year which we should encourage everyone to attend and contribute to its success to prove that as a community we can stand strong on our own.  The High Commission can only be invited and as I understand, that’s what will be done this time.  Remember there is funding for community activities in UK if all legal requirements are fulfilled.

Another good thing that came out of that article is the curbing of feathers within the High Commission.  All the airs that seemed to exist with the new comer to the high office seem to have evaporated, although it is too early to claim if sanity has donned within the High Commission.  Everyone is still a bit cage.  This situation has not been helped by the recent dismal turn up for the shambles in the name of Rwanda’s Parliamentary Election.  The Rwandese Community in UK are not only standing up to the interference by the High Commission in their affairs, but have also sent a strong statement by not voting.  The threats that the High Commissioner delivered to all places he visited during his early days might come back to haunt him.  Times are changing and changing very fast indeed.  This is UK the mother of the free world where even BNP or UKIP can be heard and not Rwanda where RPF thinks it is the only player in politics.  Well done the Community in UK for not wasting your time on shambles in a façade of an election.

As for the detractors in the second category, like Jane and Claudette, who using their sycophantic cues, think that the High Commission can control the community should just wait and watch this space.  If one can disrespect her elder sister using abusive language or those who helped in their hour of need, no person should take note of that individual.  Apart from Claudette who works hard and pays her taxes, most individuals in this category, like Jane are even a more disgrace to the community.  Not only do they go around defaming others in the community, to the extent that they don’t even talk to those who helped them in their hour of need when they first landed in this country, they also live on Disability Allowance while at same time working under the ‘radar’, of which we all know as benefit fraud classified as a crime in this country. This also is not only cheating the system of a country that hosts us but also brings shame to all Rwandese whom this country have welcomed and helped to resettle here.  To be proud off cheating or disrespecting the hard working people who you cheat from, in Benefit Allowance, is a disgrace in itself.  Another pointer to you Jane, if it was not for the people in the community you are dead bent to slur and smear, where would you have got the big audience that blessed your daughter’s wedding recently?  I am sure they did it for the good person in the bride and for the pride of the community.  You need to learn from that.  Soon you will all be exposed if you don’t come clean.

 

Jane is very close to the Rwandese high commissioner, and is thought to have explained her circumstances to the ambassador’s family but the wife of the ambassador Leonia, supported the idea of her circumstances.  She is  believed to have supported the idea of her circumstances, she has been a crucial spy to the high commissioner’s family while spying on opposition of the RPF government and the activists for change against any crutial opposition. When we contacted the ambassador’s wife to have a say in what is thought to have supported some rwandese to commit benefit fraud,  her cell  phone went straight on voice mail, of which applied to Jane who declined to answer the mobile telephone.

Rwandese community just bear in mind that, A community consists of a number of sub-communities, based on a combination of ethnicity, gender, age, disability, location, etc. Each community will have different desires and needs that have to be weighed up. It is possible to engage with communities in a variety of different ways but it is extremely important to understand the environment in which you are operating, the type of engagement each group prefers, and to then be able to deliver services in a way that benefits individuals, communities and individual co-financers and providers of where you live not the ambassador and his wife or RPF plus other political parties, also please avoid tribal differences because do not exist in this country. Please  do not allow politics to divide your community:
