Asked by a reporter who was running Rwanda in her absence, President Mpambara replied that it was her Prime Minister Ange Kagame who is in charge.
βRunning Rwanda is very easy. Rwandans follow orders like cows. All Ange Kagame has to do is issueΒ orders.β
President Mpambara added that journalists were wrong in treating Rwanda as a banana republic. She further explained:
βYou foreign journalists are very ignorant. You make me sick with your ridiculous questions. Look, Rwanda is not your typical African state. We are the Singapore of Africa, you know? Get that straight. Ange Kagame has a great cabinet including her mother Nyiramongi Kagame, and other able ministers such as Kaboneka and Kabarebe. Rwanda is therefore well equipped to run smoothly whether I am there or not. Do not confuse my country with a banana republic. We are best ranked in every category by the World Bank. So buzzΒ off.β
Before the reporter could follow up with another question, President Mpambara stormed off surrounded by her bodyguards.😂
