Kenya, Uganda diplomats say Rwandans have a right to know the truth

Days after the French government described the findings of the Mucyo report as unacceptable; diplomats have spoken out on the report that accuses 33 French political and military leaders of direct involvement in the 1994 Genocide.

Speaking to Sunday Times on Friday in his office at the Kenyan embassy in Kacyiru, the Kenyan ambassador to Rwanda, Alex Keter, said that, what people should do is to read the report in detail and determine whether what is contained in it is true and use that as the basis on which to take decisions.

Keter explained: "There are more details in the report that can only be known by reading the entire report.”

He further said that Rwanda has a right to find out what the truth is about what happened in 1994.

The Ugandan ambassador, Richard Kabonero, told Sunday Times that Rwanda has the right to investigate and find out what really happened.

"With over one million people killed, definitely Rwanda had to know what happened,” said the Ugandan diplomat.

However, he said that in order to take a position on the report, he would need to read the report when it is availed in an English version.
