\u201cWe came in support of our work\u2026to discuss the job we are jointly doing,\u201d Paul Banoba, TI Regional Coordinator, said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe relationship is strong and Rwanda National Police is certainly doing a great job to fight corruption. The indicators we are seeing, there is recognition of a problem but there are also very specific measures that the police and its leadership have put in place to address the problem, which are beginning to show results,\u201d Banoba noted.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cWe are glad that Rwanda National Police has recognized and taken corruption as a threat to development and security and taken measures to address it. We are quite happy as an institution working with Rwanda National Police on this issue, we are happy with the seriousness with which they have taken to address that matter.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marie Immaculee Ingabire, chairperson of TI-Rwanda, noted that Police is the best performer in fighting graft \u201cthough on the individual basis there are cases of corruption.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe therefore came to see how to strengthen our partnership because we are in the same front and same struggle; so we have to be close and strengthen our cooperation,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n
