{The Inspector General of Police (IGP) Emmanuel K Gasana yesterday met with owners and representatives of driving Schools to review the progress made in exploiting e-services particularly Irembo portal and to draw strategies of future exploitation of electronic services. } <\/p>\n
During the meeting, the Police Chief rooted for enhanced cooperation and partnership in ensuring both police and driving schools offer quality services to the public.<\/p>\n
In turn, the head of the association of driving schools in Rwanda, Jean de Dieu Gishoma, said that due to previous irregularities, they decided to form an association to streamline their work.<\/p>\n
This, Gishoma said, was meant to ensure and produce highly skilled drivers.<\/p>\n
According to Commissioner of Police (CP) George Rumanzi, the Commissioner for Traffic and Road Safety (TRS), noted that previous irregularities in driving schools hindered the process of acquiring driver’s license.<\/p>\n
These, he said, were streamlined with the introduction of e-government services.<\/p>\n
Initially, CP Rumanzi noted, there were many driving schools that had been established targeting precisely collecting revenues from the registration process than teaching road safety standards and driving skills.<\/p>\n
\u201cIrembo eliminated intermediaries and bureaucracy which was also a breeding ground for corruption,\u201d CP Rumanzi said.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the time, candidates could register only through MTN for Rwf60 per message; candidates could pay between Rwf5, 000 and Rwf35, 000 to driving schools to be put on the list for the tests; other candidates could pay an extra Rwf5, 000 to the driving schools to follow up their licenses…all these were illegal fares,\u201d said CP Rumanzi.<\/p>\n
He added that most schools made money from registration-related services other than teaching how to drive.<\/p>\n
These irregularities saw the birth of 45 more schools between April 2015 to June 2016 to increase from 79 to124.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
