In its effort to realize its targets against corruption, the force also established and reinforced an Anti-Corruption Unit, adopted the e-policing policy to limit officers\u2019 contact with money, established toll-free lines 997 and 3511, entered partnership with other charged institutions like the Office of Ombudsman and Transparency International Rwanda , among others.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the training, officers also discussed on how to overcome existing challenges in fighting graft; acquired economic and financial investigative knowledge and skills; good understanding of the Audit Reports for use as evidence, tendering process and fraud committed in awarding tenders,\u201d the commandant said.<\/p>\n

Facilitators were drawn from RNP, office of the Auditor General, Rwanda Public Procurement Authority (RPPA), National Public Prosecutor Authority (NPPA) and LAF.<\/p>\n
