The four suspects, who were guising as Police officers, were arrested in separate operations conducted in City of Kigali.

They are Hamdun Murenzi, 45, said to be the head of the group; Francois Kalinijabo, 36, Philomène Uzamukunda, 45, and Adam Bora, 25.

Uzamukunda, the only woman in the group, was masquerading as ‘Afande CIP Philomène.’

The quartet was shown to the media on Tuesday, October 20, at Police Metropolitan headquarters in Remera.

Police also seized a computer and printer, which they were using to print fake driver’s permit.

This follows similar operations in June, which also led to the arrest of five other people, who were engaged in the same fraudulent practices.

One of the scammers; Francois Kalinijabo, narrated that he was recruited by Murenzi mid this year to facilitate in producing forged permits.

'Murenzi called and asked me if I can get him someone to print a driver’s license. I contacted Adam (Bora) because I knew he was a photographer with a photo studio in town (Kigali).

Adam told me that he would charge Frw5,000 for every printed permit, but when I went back to Murenzi, I told him Frw10, 000, which he was giving me to print each permit. I don’t remember exactly how many drivers’ license we had produced and issued in the past few months, but they could amount to approximately 40,' Kalinijabo recounted.

Kalinijabo, a taxi-driver, regretted the criminal actions recalling how he rightfully acquired his driver’s license after going through the due process.

Rwanda National Police spokesperson, CP John Bosco Kabera said that so far, there are 42 known fake driving permits, which the ring issued, although there are many others that they were yet to print, which were found on the seized computer.

'As usual, when Police gets information on any suspected criminal practice, we follow up and that is how this specific group was unearthed after it emerged that they were producing fake driver’s license and selling them to people, who thought they were dealing with Police officers and who were convinced that they would get the license through such criminal shortcuts,' CP Kabera said.

He added: 'This is an act of forgery, impersonation and fraud, which are punishable by law. We can only advise anyone aspiring to be a driver to follow the eased process of acquiring a license because at one point, the fake permit will be detected and the holder will be arrested to equally face the law.'

Forging or using a forged document, under article 276 of the law relating to offences and penalties in general in Rwanda, is punishable with a term of imprisonment of five to seven years and a fine of up to Frw5 million.

Impersonation, under article 279, attracts imprisonment of between two and three years and a fine of between Rwf300, 000 and Frw500, 000, while fraud is punishable under article 174, with imprisonment of between two and three years and a fine of Frw3 million to Frw5 million, upon conviction.

'Driver’s license registration, tests and venues are always widely communicated. So, if you did not seat for the tests, just know that the license you are holding, which you received through an arrangement with someone on phone, is a fake one and you will be arrested either way.

Police officers don’t call people to pay money in order to get them driver’s license, so whoever calls you asking for money, to get you a license, that is a conman, who should be reported and arrested,' CP Kabera said.

'We have taken note of the concerns of citizens regarding transport tariffs and the Prime Minister together with relevant stakeholders will address the issue as soon as possible,' Prime Minister Dr. Edouard Ngirente said through Twitter on Tuesday evening.

The Rwanda Utilities Regulatory Authority (RURA) announced the rates new last week, after a cabinet meeting chaired by President Paul Kagame last Monday to increase occupancy levels in public buses to 100 percent for seated passengers and 50 percent for standing passengers.

The Director General of RURA Patrick Nyirishema said the existing fares were introduced in 2018 and were expected to change in March but the increment was put on hold due to the COVID-19 outbreak; he explained that the new fares were routine since the regulator revises the rates every two years based on many factors, mainly the cost of operating routes.

Many were not satisfied with the decision and therefore started a complain channel through social media, mostly tweeter with the hashtag #RURA4TransportFairness trending for days.

The regulator however did not budge, maintaining that the fares were well thought, despite many complaints from the public. Following days of complaints, the Prime Minister promised to look into the issue and find a befitting answer to resolve the issues.
