They were arrested on December 17, 2018, in Rebero Village, Gikondo Sector in Kicukiro District.
Police Spokesman for the City of Kigali, CIP Emmanuel Kayigi said the two men were caught red-handed asking the resident for bribes, after receiving information that two people had been harassing him.
The citizen is a Rwandan living in Belgium. In the area where he was building, he lacked water which delayed his activities and made him believe that they would not be completed within the time he gave himself before he returns to Belgium.
The men who were arrested asked him to give them money so as to help him get water easily. He refused to oblige and, instead, exposed them.
CIP Kayigi thanked the resident for providing information, emphasizing that corruption has no seat in Rwanda.
“We will continue operations aimed at arresting and handing the suspects of such crimes to the prosecution,” he said.
A Public Relations Officer at WASAC, Pascal Tuhabwa condemned the act and said that the personel should not ask citizens for money for the services offered.
The suspects were handed to Rwanda Investigation Bureau (RIB) for further investigation.
