Jean Maurice Uwera also expressed gratitude to President Paul Kagame for entrusting him with the role, pledging to serve with dedication.
“I sincerely thank His Excellency the President of the Republic for the confidence placed in me through this appointment as Deputy Government Spokesperson. I commit to contributing to efforts that advance the welfare of Rwandans and place citizens at the centre,” he said.
