The talks attracted people from different walks including Rwandans in Belgium and its neighborhoods. Among the panelists, were the Executive Secretary of the National Commission for the Fight Against Genocide (CNLG), Dr Jean Damasc\u00e8ne Bizimana and Rwanda\u2019s Ambassador to Belgium, Amandin Rugira.<\/p>\n
Mitali was among participants in back seats and held discussions with others after attending talks. <\/p>\n
He was reported by his political party in 2015, PL to have misappropriated Rwf 50 million. <\/p>\n
At the time, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs requested Mitali to fix issues with his political party but the suspect fled the country. Following his fleeing, Interpol issued an arrest warrant on account of allegations of misuse and misallocation of his political party\u2019s funds. <\/p>\n
Recently on 19th March, Rwanda\u2019s Prosecutor, Jean Bosco Mutangana told IGIHE that the search for Mitali is underway to bring him to court. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe issued arrest warrants for alleged misallocation of funds from the political party he belonged to. He absconded his job and is being hunted by Interpol. No one is aware of where he is since 2015,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
The PL General Secretary, Odette Nyiramilimo has told IGIHE that they tried to recover the party\u2019s finances through disposing off his property but efforts were futile because Mitali sold his possessions before he left.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
