While presenting the report to Parliament today, the Ombudsman, Anastase Murekezi explained that 1,934 (64.9%) cases were not handled in 2015-2016 while 1,047 (35.1%) were received in 2016-2017.
Murekezi said that of the cases that were appealed, a total of 1,033 were assessed and 67, equivalent 6.5%, were revised through the Supreme Court.
A total of 966, making 93.5% cases, the report indicates, had no injustice cases identified.
The report says that there are many cases which were not assessed in 2016-2017 because of the overwhelming numbers in contrast to a small staff to scrutinize the files.
