KARONGI - The body of the former Executive Secretary of Bugina cell, Rutsiro district, Andre Nambajimana, has been recovered from Lake Kivu two weeks after the boat he was traveling in capsized due to a heavy storm.

Nambajimana, was among the passengers traveling to Nyamunini Island to commemorate the 16th anniversary of the Genocide against the Tutsi.

He brings the total number of bodies recovered to 19. Three people are still missing.

Nambajimana is survived by a wife and two children.
