Chief Inspector of Police (CIP) Alexis Rugigana, the Police spokesperson for the Northern region, said that Mbarukuze\u2019s permit was identified after he was involved in a road crash.<\/p>\n
\u201cMbarukuze, who was driving a vehicle, registration number RAD 610J was involved in a road crash in Musanze town. As traffic officers were investigating the accident, they noticed that his driver\u2019s permit was forged, and he was taken into custody,\u201d CIP Rugigana said.<\/p>\n
The confiscated fake permit indicates that it was issued on September 13, 2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cTwo people have so far been implicated to have been part of this whole criminal act, law enforcement agencies are working together to arrest them to face justice,\u201d CIP Rugigana said.<\/p>\n
It is said that Mbarukuze took the criminal shortcut and was also duped Rwf300, 000 believing that he would get a genuine driver\u2019s licence.<\/p>\n
The Traffic and Road Safety department uses a Hand-Held Terminal (HHT) device to check the authenticity of driver\u2019s licence and motor-vehicle inspection certificate.<\/p>\n
\u201cTaking criminal shortcut is one thing but beware that you will be arrested to face the law. The process of acquiring a driver\u2019s permit was made easy, no need to take criminal channels, which will land you in prison,\u201d CIP Rugigana advised.<\/p>\n
Forgery or using a forged document, under article 276 of the penal code, attracts an imprisonment term of between five and seven years, and a fine of not less than Rwf3 million but not more than Rwf5 million or only one of these penalties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
