Kagame was speaking Wednesday in Kigali while presiding over the swearing-in ceremony of Supreme Court, Court of Appeal, High Court, and Commercial High Court judges.<\/p>\n

The judges were appointed by the cabinet recently.<\/p>\n

The Head of State reminded that justice delayed is justice denied, a reason why all Rwandans should be served on time.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Court of Appeal was established to help fast-track hearing process and enable Rwandans access quick justice as it is basically known that justice delayed is justice denied,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur justice system should be free of corruption, work in transparency and judges take decisions without any influence,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said that for justice sector to achieve this there is a need for all essential requirements to be in place so that they get empowered.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe cannot await results from them without providing what they need from us, we need complementarity,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll that package creates trust among Rwandans and investors to work without obstructions because they are assured of their rights and free from any violence as there are institutions and justice system that protect their rights,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Kagame said that the rule of law makes people work responsibly as they trust laws which serve to protect them.<\/p>\n

He said that much has been done in past two years to develop justice sector like reform in institutions, establishment of infrastructure, increasing the number of judges, capacity building and use of technology among others.<\/p>\n

Kagame requested justice system on contribution to national security and liberty, and promised government support towards achieving their mission.<\/p>\n
