Foreign Affairs Principal Secretary Korir Sing’oei has termed Rwandan President Paul Kagame as an iconic leader whose “bold leadership” is admired at home and abroad. His remarks come on the heels of a statement by Roads Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen who had stated that Rwanda is an autocracy and that whatever the President says is the law. “You cannot compare the political situation in Rwanda and the size of the country with our country and our democracy,” Murkomen said on Citizen TV on Monday. “Murkomen can't attack a sovereign friendly state without provocation and disparage President Paul Kagame just like that. “Instead of you crying about Rwanda please cry for your country,” Murkomen told Abdullahi.
