I am not authoritarian and I have
nothing to apologise for – Kagame
Is there anyone, dead or living, who inspires you?
I don’t know if I would sound strange, weird or funny on this but to be honest there are people I appreciate, leaders I’ve known, I have associated with, I’ve read about. Let me give an example of Mwalimu Nyerere; if you ask me on the continent the person I appreciate or appreciated, I find a lot in him that I feel proud about for him. There are many others, the obvious ones like Nelson Mandela and others but it never occurs to me that I would like to be like them or be them. No, I just learn so much about them and appreciate them but I have always wanted to be myself and the best I can be in my own circumstances.
It is important to know about them and learn a thing or two from them but in the end I have been shaped more by the problems I have lived through and the challenges I have faced than thinking about or trying to become somebody else or just imitate somebody else.
