It has emerged, following a leak by security sources, that there is a team of RPF/Inkontanyi historicals who have fallen out with the system over the years and are the ones who formed the new Rwandan political party, The Green Party.

According to a leaked security brief, a copy of which some Media Houses including 256 news has seen, has some of the names men and women behind the Green Party of Rwanda and have been coordinating
clandestinely through emails and phone calls to wrestle president Kagame out of power in 2010.

According to a leaked security brief addressed to Rwanda President, Gen. Paul Kagame by intelligence officers it has John Nagenda, a senior adviser to President Museveni of Uganda to be related to some of the big names behind the Green Party formation.

According to the brief, Nagenda is a maternal uncle to interim Green party president Frank Habineza. And it’s Nagenda who paid Habineza’s school fees in his school days.

Another fact is that Nagenda (*pictured) is a long time and a close friend to Charles Kabanda who is Green party general secretary and Gen. Kayumba Nyamwasa who is currently Rwandan ambassador to India and a former RDF chief of staff, who is also on the list.

Kabanda, who hails from the present Ugandan district of Ntungamo, is the first president of Rwanda Patriotic Front, RPF, in 90’s, and he was later dropped by RPF.

According to a leaked security brief, some of the names that are listed and all have served in RPF in various portfolios Include; Mazimpaka Patrick, Ambassador Rwamasirabo, Senator Joseph Karemera, Col. Mudenge, Sam Nkunsi , Brig. Gen. Charles Gasana, Ambasador Pascal Ngonga, Dr. Maj. Ben Karenzi, Senator Aloysia Inyumba, Gen Kayumba Nyamwasa, Gen. Rutatina, Col. Zigira, Dr. Bihozagara and Nkongori John.

According to the brief, the argument of these people is that Kagame has ruined their chances.

When contacted over the matter, Frank Habineza the interim president of green party refuted the report.

“None of the mentioned people are green party members or is funding us, these are allegations,” Habineza told 256 news today over the phone.

According to military sources, top security officials are investigating strongly the addressed matter.

One RDF senior officer and who is a historical who spoke to 256 news over the matter but preferred anonymity said “I have no knowledge absolutely about any coup plot against our government or the
defections in RPF or any rift within RPF but if any we have the capacity to crush it.”

Democratic Green Party of Rwanda is in the midst of a looming controversy surrounding its quest to register.
