In Viewers Corner News opinion, what Rwanda has done is regarded as a mockery on democracy, this is unbelievable. The lawmakers in Rwanda on Thursday, October 29, 2015 amended her constitution which allows President Paul Kagame of Rwanda who has been in power since the year 2000 to run for a third term (seven years) which everyone in the country believes he will surely win according to Viewers Corner News source in Kigali, Rwanda. Then after that, President Paul Kagame could also run for another two more terms of five years each. This is complicating and terrible, is he the owner of Rwanda or what? It is clear at this moment that some group of people (Lawmakers) in Rwanda have manipulated the democratic system and also hijacked the principles in which the rule of law is built and we (Viewers Corner News) find this system absolutely very surprising but since the people of Rwanda have accepted/adopted this system, then is alright for them.
Viewers Corner News sees danger in the future because the President will never like to leave the seat he is occupying as the leader of the country and this could cause problems in future. Again no matter how good the President of Rwanda may be, democracy made us believe that the President’s seat is not permanent for one person alone, changes are required in a democratic system of government at all times. Viewers Corner News is pleading that the rights of all the citizens of Rwanda be respected as they have taken a decision to practise this extra ordinary and complicating system.
