{The newly appointed Ombudsman, Anastase Murekezi has said that he will not spare any efforts fighting corruption, nor will he handle any issue with any favour regardless of the suspects\u2019 position, including the so called \u2018big fish\u2019. } <\/p>\n
Murekezi who was being ushered in as the Chief Ombudsman where the outgoing Ombudsman Aloysia Cyanzayire handed over office, pledged to invest all possible efforts in tracing every corrupt individual including those called \u2018big fish.\u2019 \u201cAll fish live in water and it is easy for the fisherman to get a big fish because it comes in the trap first than small fish. Fighting corruption and injustice will therefore be carried out indiscriminately,\u201d Murekezi promised. <\/p>\n
The outgoing ombudsman, Ms Cyanzayire requested the new ombudsman to keep sensitizing people about reporting corruption cases. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a problem indeed; different studies show that Rwandans do not report corruption cases. Like the recent Transparency International Rwanda study shows that only 15% report corruption cases. This is a small number. It requires much sensitization and mobilization to let Rwandans understand that it\u2019s their responsibility to aggressively fight corruption,\u201d Cyanzayire said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
