The government has a challenge to recover over Rwf 1bn from the cases it won arrested officials for embezzling state funds.
This was mentioned by Prime Minister Pierre Damien Habumuremyi while presenting a report of the last National Dialogue during the two-day 9th National Dialogue that commenced at the lower chamber of parliament.
Habumuremyi’s presentation highlighted resolutions adopted from the last National Dialogue which recorded achievements in different sectors that included Judiciary, education, financial, security and good governance among others.
The prime Minister said that over 1030 cases filed for embezzling state funds only 779 cases have been closed categorized in crimes that cripple the country economy.
He also said that on the side of genocide fugitives only USA and a few countries in European community have accepted to arrest and try the suspects.
Despite having noted that more efforts were still needed, prime minister said that a lot had been achieved but still called for joint efforts among ministries to seek solutions to the challenges in the country.
According to the prime minister, the National Dialogue is the right forum that can have positive results saying that 83% of the issues highlighted in the last Dialogue were accomplished.
Habumuremyi said that an issue of Umurenge Sacco was highlighted in the last Dialogue and accomplished with better results.
He said that to date the increased 1.3m members have saved over Rwf 23.3bn from Rwf 6bn in the previous year.
Habumuremyi added that 1166 houses for Genocide survivors were built including intensive fight of Genocide ideologies and over 34000 houses built in an effort to fight Nyakatsi.
Because of the involvement of residents to contribute towards 9 year basic education and other relevant partners, 66% of the whole budget of Rwf 102bn was covered to build additional needed class rooms.
