Bring back genocide convict, Rwanda asks Malawi
Rwanda has renewed its call for Malawi to extradite Rwandan national Vincent Murekezi who was convicted in his country for participating in the 1994 genocide.
Murekezi was reportedly found guilty in Rwanda of crimes related to genocide and was given a life sentence by the courts, but escaped and has been hiding in Malawi.
Rwanda National Prosecution spokesman Nkusi Faustin confirmed that they have been asking Malawi for the extradition of Murekezi from 2009.
“We are still hopeful Malawi government will corporate by repatriating Mr Murekezi,” Faustin said.
Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Principal Secretary Dalitso Kabambe confirmed that Malawi government received “several requests” for extradition of extradition of genocide suspect.
But Murekezi is said to be shielded by top Malawi government officials and helped him to acquire the Malawi passport using the surname Banda with passport number MA078171 in 2011.
His Rwandan passport number PC939663 indicates that his birthplace is Ngoma-Huye in Rwanda and those details appears in a Rwandan government record, which names him a suspect of the 1994 genocide.
In the MA07817 Malawi passport which he earlier obtained, Murekezi identified himself as a Malawian citizen from Mbeya in Tanzania.
He also identifies himself in the other passport as Vincent Murekezi whose birth place is Kigali, Rwanda.
Murekezi said he followed all the laid down procedures to obtain the Malawi documents.
Meanwhile, private practice lawyer Oswald Mtupila said he will move the court to send back the suspected genocide criminal.
He said Murekezi poses a serious threat to the national security and peace, particularly following other reports that he has penetrated the Malawi Government service delivery system where he is getting passports, citizenship and court orders in his favour by using dishonest lawyers to appear as a bona fide Malawian citizen.

Did it have to come to this?
. . . Is it not shameful to hear that Rwanda has sought Murekezi’s extradition since 2009 and no tangible response has come from Malawi?
. . . Is it difficult to see that Murekezi has been paying some govt officials to buy his way in and around the country? Selling one’s country for personal benefits? What kind/level of greed is this?
. . . Does it come as a surprise therefore, that the only thing we heard from the accidental minister of internal security is “Murekezi is a successful businessman”? And how relevant was this statement from Grace Chiumia?
. . . Why is it normal (in Malawi) that no one has been/will be questioned or disciplined at Immigration, despite revelations that Murekezi fraudulently got a Malawi passport?
. . . Yes, we all know that the ACB is dead, but why doesn’t this corpse (ACB) even smell bad on these unpatriotic hence good-for-nothing Immigration officers?
. . . And where is APM and Chilima in all this chaos? The one guy (APM) who talks tough on corruption but does nothing, and another (Chilima) who always hides and doesn’t talk at all?
. . . Why cant these two people (APM and Chilima) take a particular interest in this case and have these malodorous Immigration officers fired and Murekezi deported?
. . . Let APM and Chilima know, “When soldiers lack discipline, the fault lies with their commander.” – Tywin Lannister.

The analyst,
people that were there when Chiumia was asked categorically say she did not say “Murekezi is a successful businessman”?
GOVT SHOULD DEAL WITH DISHONEST LAWYERS WHO ARE DEFENDING THIS MAN. THOSE WHO ASSISTED HIM IN ACQUIRING MW PASSPORT SHOULD ALSO BE CHARGED. GOVT SHOULD COMPLY WITH RWANDA REQUEST.
Who was right, Zodiac or Govt? Shame on this govt, the govt that does not want to protect its citizens. God will punish you all. It’s unfortunate that you don’t realize that HE has already started punishing you.
This guy must have paid Bingu a lot of money to be hiding in Malawi. Mpakana Malawian passport.
Inde! Nanga the Burundians who paid Uladi Mussa to get their citizenship? How did this matter end? Nanga ma Zimbabwe ambiri ndi ma Nigerian anapeza ma passport a Malawi aja zinatha bwanji?
Immigration Department is really rotten.Malawi is rotten x10.
Shame…deport this bustard.
Sure!!
Shaa mpakana dishonest lawyers,koma makobiri avuta pa Malawitu
