THE Rwandan genocide suspect employed by the Namibian Government as a doctor shows little understanding of medical practices.
Dr Andre Rwamakuba, wanted in Rwanda for his involvement in the 1994 murder of hospital patients, has been sent for retraining at Katatura Hospital after a deluge of complaints from Gobabis, where he was first posted.
A Namibian government source said Rwamakuba had impressive qualifications on paper, but appeared to have forgotten his medical skills during a long political career. Namibian health authorities are continuing to pay him a full doctor’s salary, although he is receiving intern-level training.
On Monday, the Namibian government agreed to extradite Rwamakuba if an official request is made by the Rwandan authorities.*
