{{Damascene Iyamuremye, the executive secretary of Busogo sector in Musanze District has been arrested and detained at Musanze police post for allegedly swindling Rwf 1 million.}}<\/p>\n
Iyamuremye now facing trial for the abuse of office and related crimes is said to have connived with Tharciana Duterimbere the branch Manager of Umurenge SACCO-Busogo.<\/p>\n
According to the source on the ground, both suspects are said to have withdrawn the money illegally meant cooperative in the area.<\/p>\n
The money, which was reportedly embezzled, was 15 percent of the total interest paid by cooperatives.<\/p>\n
Over Rwf 15 million had been cashed in to support cooperatives in Busogo Sector, by PADSEC (Project D\u2019appui au Development Socio-Economic et Culturel dans la Province du Nord), and channelled through a local Umurenge SACCO account.<\/p>\n
The scam was unearthed during an audit carried out by Rwanda Cooperatives Agency last week, a body mandated to oversee the operations of the cooperatives in the country.<\/p>\n
Police spokesman, Supt. Theos Badege, confirmed the arrest and said that investigations were still ongoing.<\/p>\n
