In a rare occurrence in Rwanda, this September 14, a Cabinet meeting chaired by President Paul Kagame approved a presidential order of mercy to set free 2,140 prisoners, including gospel musician Kizito Mihigo and opposition politician Victoire Ingabire.
Gospel musician Mihigo, 36, was once the “blue-eyed boy” of the Rwandan government. He accompanied President Kagame on foreign trips to celebrate Rwanda Day abroad. Mihigo sang the national anthem at state events courtesy of his amazing vocals and piano skills.
