Sezibera, 54, was the 4th Secretary General of the East African Community until April 2016, when Libérat Mfumukeko of Burundi succeeded him.

In 1995, he became a Member of Parliament. He was elected President of the Parliamentary Commission on Social Affairs, which exercised oversight over the government departments mandated to deal with issues of health. Four years later, he was made Ambassador of Rwanda to the United States of America, with concurrent accreditation to Mexico, Argentina and Brazil.

He served in the Office of the President of Rwanda, as Special Envoy to the African Great Lakes Region and senior adviser to the President of Rwanda.

In other changes made within Rwanda’s Cabinet, Maj Gen Albert Murasira was appointed new Defence Minister replacing General James Kabarebe. The latter is now Senior Defense and Security Advisor in the Office of the President.

Kagame also dropped the Inspector General of Police, Emmanuel Gasana and replaced him with his Deputy DCG Dan Munyuza. Gasana is new Governor of the Southern Province.

The new IGP is deputised by CP Ntamuhoranye Felix in charge of Operations and Marizamunda Juvenal (in charge of Administration and Personnel).

Col (Rtd) Anaclet KALIBATA who was heading the Immigration and Emigration has been moved to the National Intelligence and Security Services (NISS).
