Two cooperative leaders arrested on misappropriation charges

The mayor of Nyaruguru district, François Habitegeko has told IGIHE that they had received complaints of poor management of funds from members of the cooperative.

“A survey conducted by Rwanda Cooperative Agency pointed out the misappropriation though we had received complaints concerning misuse of funds from members of the cooperative,” he said.

“We assure members of other cooperatives that officials are watchful. Their property must be managed well. Anyone involved in misappropriation will be held accountable,” added Habitegeko.

The spokesperson of Rwanda Investigation Bureau (RIB), Modeste Mbabazi has told IGIHE that they are accused of misallocating Rwf 6,383, 698 while more seven suspects are being interrogated.

“Investigation that might lead to the arrest of more suspects is underway. There is evidence of funds taken illegally,” he explained.
