Alice Nzomukunda
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alice Nzomukunda (born 12 April 1966) is a Burundian politician and former Vice-President of the country, from 29 August 2005, to 5 September 2006. She is an ethnic Hutu member of the National Council for the Defense of Democracy-Forces for the Defense of Democracy (CNDD-FDD).
According to the constitution, Burundi's 2nd Vice-President is responsible for economic and social affairs. Nzomukunda was nominated by President Pierre Nkurunziza on 29 August 2005. She was endorsed by both chambers of parliament (National Assembly - 109 votes 'for', none 'against' and 46 votes 'for', 2 'against' in the Senate) and immediately sworn in. She is originally from the capital city of Bujumbura.
On 5 September, 2006, Nzomukunda resigned as vice president, citing corruption and human rights abuses by the government, as well as casting doubt on the authenticity of a coup plot which saw former president Domitien Ndayizeye arrested a few weeks before on August 21. [1]
