The new President of the Supreme Court and Chief Justice Domitilla Mukantaganzwa
will take the oath of office on Thursday, December 12, marking the beginning of
her five-year term.

Mukantaganzwa, 60, and her deputy Alphonse Hitiyaremye, 57, were appointed to
the Supreme Court by President Paul Kagame on December 3.

According to the Constitution, the President and the Vice President of the
Supreme Court take their oath of office publicly before the President of the
Republic.

Mukantaganzwa succeeded Faustin Ntezilyayo, who had served out his five-year
term, while Hitiyaremye replaced Marie-Thérèse Mukamulisa.

The Senate approved Mukantaganzwa and Hitiyaremye’s appointment on December 5.

Mukantaganzwa has 30 years of experience in legal practice. She served in
various capacities, including heading the Gacaca Courts from 2003 to 2012, which
heard nearly two million cases related to the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi.

Until her appointment, Mukantaganzwa was the Chairperson of Rwanda Law Reform
Commission, a position she had held since December 2019.

Hitiyaremye, a former Deputy Prosecutor General from 2006 to 2013, had been a
judge of the Supreme Court before his latest appointment.
