Komeza was sworn in for the position along with other entrants at the Ombudsman\u2019s Office on 18th July 2018<\/p>\n
The spokesperson of the Ombudsman\u2019s Office, Jean Pierre Nkurunziza has told IGIHE that they have reports accusing Komeza of having received a bribe at the institution where he used to work. <\/p>\n
His files have been transferred to the prosecution and will be taken to court in the near future as expected. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe is suspected to have received the bribery at the time he served as a policeman. We were not aware that he was a policeman it was not included in his CV. We then started investigations to establish the truth,\u201d said Nkurunziza. <\/p>\n
\u201cInvestigations on the circumstances in which he received the bribery are underway and more facts will be established later. Professionally, it is understandable that there is a reason behind when someone conceals details in the CV,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n
He explained that the investigation is underway to establish why he left the police and not pursued for the crime before. <\/p>\n
A convict of corruption crime is liable to a sentence of between 7 to 10 years of imprisonment. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
