  • DRC Court To Rule On Provisional Release Of Vital Kamerhe #rwanda #RwOT

    Congo’s former all powerful Vital Kamerhe is expected to know later Tuesday whether he could win a provisional release from prison.

    The Court of Cassation convened on Monday to hear an appeal against the judgment of the Kinshasa Gombe Court of Appeal on Vital Kamerhe’s request for provisional release.

    According to the judicial system in DRC, the Court of Cassation has jurisdiction over all civil and criminal matters triable in the judicial system, and is the supreme court of appeal in these cases.

    After hearing Kamerhe’s request for provisional release, the court said on Monday that it would give a ruling in not more than 48 hours.

    Last week, the Kinshasa Gombe Court of Appeal rejected Vital Kamerhe’s request for provisional release. Vital Kamerhe’s lawyers raised an argument of “the deterioration of his state of health”.

    Vital Kamerhe’s lawyers moved to convince the president of the Court of Cassation Ibanda following the refusal of the Court of Appeal of Kinshasa / Gombe to grant provisional release to their client.

    “The court must rule on the bail refused by the Court of Appeal,” he said on his Twitter account and added: “The hearing is over,” Kamerhe’s lawyers said.

    Kamerhe is currently sentenced to 20 years of forced labor for embezzling public funds as part of President Tshisekedi’s 100-day emergency program, in its construction component prefabricated houses including Samih Jammal and Muhima Ndoole.

    Vital Kamerhe remains in detention at Makala Prison.

    At the court of cassation, Vital Kamerhe maintained that the judges of the Kinshasa Gombe court of appeal did not say the right thing in the council chamber. They made an analogical reasoning, made deductions on allegations without proof, he added.

    He asked the judges of the court to re-analyze the conditions for his provisional release by referring to the code of criminal procedure (articles 27 to 32).

    However, the appeal trial has already started but the case has been postponed until August 7 by the Kinshasa-Gombe Court of Appeal.

    The postponement was granted to the accused party in order to regularize the proceedings against the civil party, the DRC.

  • Three Arrested Selling Dog Meat #rwanda #RwOT

    Three young men in their 20s have been arrested red handed with dog meat which they were attempting to sell to unsuspecting clients.

    The suspects have only been identified as Ihimbazwe (aged 20), Yangeneye (aged 22) and Nshimiyimana (27). They are residents of Gikumba village, Gikoma cell in Ruhango district.

    Jean Bosco Nizeyimana the executive secretary at Ruhango sector was quoted saying that he was aware of the incidence but didn’t have more details.

    According to a local newsblog Umuseke, the suspects had bought the dog from Alexis Gasatsi on Sunday but the dog bit Dusingizimana a resident who was later rushed to Kinazi hospital.

    On realising that the situation had turned complicated, the owners of this dog decided to slaughter it and sold the meat claiming it was goat meat but residents burst their ploy.

  • Kenya’s High Oil Prices Could Have Ripple Effects In Rwanda #rwanda #RwOT

    Rwanda’s economy could be braced for tough times as fuel prices not far away in Kenya rise to a 12-month high according to statistics from Central Bank of Kenya (CBK).

    The East African economy said on Monday that its fuel inflation rose for the fourth straight month to hit 8.6 per cent in July, up from 4.5 per cent in March.

    A careful analysis of this data shows that it is the first time since June last year for Kenya’s fuel inflation to be above food inflation.

    Oil prices and levels of inflation are often seen as being connected in a cause-and-effect relationship. As oil prices move up, inflation—which is the measure of general price trends throughout the economy—follows in the same direction higher.

    Earlier this year, oil prices collapsed amid the COVID-19 pandemic and economic slowdown. OPEC and its allies agreed to historic production cuts to stabilize prices, but they dropped to 20-year lows. So far oil prices are shooting higher and higher because of effects of growing scarcity.

    Kenya has an advantage of being a coastal country which makes importation of oil products much easier directly from OPEC suppliers.

    However, in Kenya, Diesel and petrol prices last month jumped by Sh17.30 and Sh11.38 per litre, respectively—the fastest single month jump in 13 years—blunting the pace of easing cost of living.

    For land locked countries like Rwanda importing the already highly priced oil in OPEC is again further affected by transport costs and the final consumer will definitely fork out extra cash per litre.

    The costs of energy and transport will now be of concern to the economy given that it affects the pricing of goods and services in many other sectors such as transport, manufacturing and agriculture.

    The cause of the incident has not been established, but preliminary investigations indicate it was caused by “poor weather,” according to military sources.

  • Parliament Pushes Government To Revise Cost Of DNA Tests #rwanda #RwOT

    The largest majority of Rwandans in need of DNA tests can barely afford the high costs and Parliament is pushing the government to revise the price following a report that indicated that the service is barely accessible.

    Paternity testing for example is offered in two options; Express and non-express testing. The express testing costs Rwf427,998 and three samples are taken from the specimen.

    The non-express testing costs Rwf267,032 and also three samples are drawn from specimen.

    For those seeking personal DNA tests, the Laboratory offers two options including the presumptive test and confirmatory test.

    This means that if the laboratory has a blood sample that will be used as a sample for DNA testing, the client pays Rwf100,000 for the presumptive and confirmatory test.

    Other samples also that can be used in the laboratory for DNA testing include; Saliva and Semen (and each sample testing costs Rwf100,000)

    In a situation of a rape case; the court may request for the testing of semen that may have been found at the scene of the crime. The cost of testing this semen sample is Rwf100,000.

    The Rwanda Forensic Laboratory conduct, which is the only lab offering these services, tests DNA, Drugs, Biological sample for Toxicology, Chemistry, Questioned Documents, Fingerprints, Ballistics, Digital tests, Microbiology, and Forensic Medicine examinations.

    The lab has conducted only 8,000 tests since 2018 when the lab acquired the infrastructure.

    Parliament on Monday insisted that the government needs to revise these prices, noting that the limited access might facilitate abetting of justice in case of the need to provide forensic evidence against suspects.
