Rwanda’s Ministry of Justice has announced that the Abunzi (Mediation committees) has reduced a big number of the disputes that ended up in courts.
The Ministry also says cases backlogs are few also.
This was announced Tuesday 25th March 2014 by Bizimana Ruganintwali Pascal; the Permanent Secretary and Deputy Attorney General summoned by MPs to clarify some issues in the justice sector.
According to the information from MINUJUST, the Commission of unity and human rights asked the Permanent Secretary to figure out some of their questions like cases backlogs, the illegal detention, pension scheme for life convicts because there are complains for those who are not receiving the funds.
“The issue of cases backlogs is diminishing in lower courts to High court except in the Supreme court where we have not a sufficient number of lawyers but slow by slow it will be addressed, the issue of illegal detention is not correct because all the people who are detained have their files and convicts who finish their sentences are released.” disclosed Ruganintwali.
