Komeza was sworn in for the position along with other entrants at the Ombudsman’s Office on 18th July 2018
The spokesperson of the Ombudsman’s Office, Jean Pierre Nkurunziza has told IGIHE that they have reports accusing Komeza of having received a bribe at the institution where he used to work.
His files have been transferred to the prosecution and will be taken to court in the near future as expected.
“He is suspected to have received the bribery at the time he served as a policeman. We were not aware that he was a policeman it was not included in his CV. We then started investigations to establish the truth,” said Nkurunziza.
“Investigations on the circumstances in which he received the bribery are underway and more facts will be established later. Professionally, it is understandable that there is a reason behind when someone conceals details in the CV,” he added.
He explained that the investigation is underway to establish why he left the police and not pursued for the crime before.
A convict of corruption crime is liable to a sentence of between 7 to 10 years of imprisonment.
