  • Police breaks robbery ring #rwanda #RwOT

    The quintet was arrested in City of Kigali in separate operations conducted on Saturday and Sunday. They were paraded before the media at the Police metropolitan headquarters in Remera, on Monday, November 16.

    They are Ally Kalisa, 24, Vital Ndeze, 27, Charles Bizimana, 28, Darius Christian Manzi, 28, and Patrick Rukundo, 32.

    They were arrested in Remera and Gatenga, in Gasabo and Kicukiro districts, respectively.

    Police also impounded a Hyundai-Santafe vehicle, registration number RAD 995Y, which they were using in the robberies.

    One of the suspects, Darius Christian Manzi, narrated that they started the robberies back in May and recalls two raids that he was actively part of in Gisenyi, Rubavu District and in Huye District.

    'I was recruited by Patrick after the lockdown was lifted. I found that one of the members—Vital Ndeze—was also known to me, we studied together at Remera Catholique. We robbed a shop in Gisenyi of Frw700, 000 and another shop in Huye town of Frw340, 000. Targeted businesses would be picked at random without prior surveillance,' Manzi narrated.

    They had hired the impounded vehicle to facilitate their movements.

    In September, the ring allegedly robbed Frw600, 000 from a shop at Murindi in Kirehe District; in October, they stole Frw700, 000 from another shop in Rubavu District and Frw440, 000 in Nyamirambo, Nyarugenge District.

    In this month alone, they allegedly robbed four businesses; Frw1.1 million from a banking agent in Nyamirambo; Frw415, 000 from another banking agent, who also operates a stationary shop in Nyarugenge city centre; Frw460, 000 from a shop in Huye District; and Frw300, 000 from Nyagatare District.

    One of the victims, Eline Nyirangirimana narrated that at about 1 pm on Sunday, November 8; the same impounded black Hyundai vehicle parked in front of her shop in Nyamirambo, and was called out by people, who were in the same car.

    Nyirangirimana operates a stationery shop and offers banking services.

    'They called me to their car as if they wanted to buy something. They kept asking many things including banking rates, but one of them slipped out of the vehicle as if he was going for other errands, entered my shop, but I rushed back to my shop when I heard someone breaking things,' Nyirangirimana said.

    She added: 'I met the same man at the door coming out of my shop after stealing my money, which he had in hands. I tried to restrain him but he overpowered me and ran away. I remember the car they were using and the person, who entered my shop, although the latter is not among those arrested.'

    It is the same trick that the gang applied to Jules Muhineza, on the same day, at his stationary and banking shop located in Nyarugenge city centre as well as other known businesses robbed in different parts of the country.

    Shadrack Nsengayire, the rightful owner of the impounded vehicle that was being used in the robberies, said that his car was hired by a local travel agency and was shocked when he was called telling him that it was being used in criminal activities.
    RNP spokesperson, Commissioner of Police (CP) John Bosco Kabera said that operations are still underway to arrest other members of the same gang.

    'By parading these suspected robbers, we hope that other unknown victims that are still out there will come forward, but also send a strong message that such people have no place to hide in our community policing society,' CP Kabera said.

    'Last month, we paraded a group of robbers that was targeting petrol stations; today, we are here showing you another ring that was targeting shops, supermarkets and banking agents. What is clear is that you might succeed in your evil plans, but you will not escape the wrath of the law.'

    In article 166, any person convicted for theft is liable to imprisonment for a term of not less than one year and not more than two years and a fine of not less than Frw1 million and not more than Frw2 million, community service in a period of six (6) months or only one of these penalties.

    However, in article 167, the penalty doubles if the theft was carried out by more than one person.

  • Vehicle intercepted smuggling bales of clothes #rwanda #RwOT

    The Congolese registered Toyota Noah, registration number CGO 7097AE/19, was being driven by one Esther Mbabazi, the alleged owner of the smuggled goods, who was also arrested. It was intercepted on Sunday morning at Giticyinyoni as the smuggler entered Kigali from Rubavu District.

    Mbabazi had tried to use the cover of the night to smuggle the bales from Rubavu to Kigali, through remote routes but was identified as she entered Kigali, RNP spokesperson, CP John Bosco Kabera, said.

    'We have information that Mbabazi has been into this tax fraud for quite sometimes, and working with other people to smuggle bales of caguwa into Rwanda through Rubavu before transporting them mainly to Kigali,' said CP Kabera.

    'She had hired this vehicle paying Frw600, 000 per month and using it to transport smuggled goods. Now, her time has come, she is going to lose the money invested in this fraud including heavy fines, the vehicle and the goods will be auctioned as the law provides, and she risks imprisonment,' CP Kabera said.

    Tax fraud

    A taxpayer, who commits fraud, is subject to an administrative fine of one hundred percent (100%) of the evaded tax. With exception to that penalty, the Tax Administration refers the case to the Prosecution service if the taxpayer voluntarily evaded such tax, like through the use of false accounts, falsified documents or any other act punishable by law. In case of conviction, the taxpayer can be imprisoned for a period between six (6) months and two (2) years.'

    Under the East African Community Management Act, which is also applicable in Rwanda, seized smuggled goods under article 199, are auctioned.

    The vehicle used in fraud and smuggling, it is also auctioned and the driver slapped a fine of US$5000.

    Selon NAEB, rien que pour la semaine écoulée, les 134.428 tonnes de ces fruits, légumes et fleurs exportés en RDC, aux UAE/Emirats Arabes Unis, en Hollande, Belgique, France et UK ont généré 304.302 $.

    Au cours de la même période, le thé vert envoyé sur les marchés pakistanais, egyptien, soudanais et celui du Kazakhstan quelque 219.79 tonnes pour une valeur de 578,947$. Mais pour ce qui est de la production théicole, quelques 8,847 tonnes de thé ont été exportées dans la période allant du 1er juillet à ce jour.

    Exportés en l’état, triste !!!
    Les investisseurs rwandais devraient tisser de solides partenariats avec les fermierset grandes coopératives agricoles rwandais et les chercheurs universitaires pour se comprendre sur les modalités de transformer leurs denrées agricoles. Cette valeur ajoutée serait alors bénéfique pour le fermier, ce qui influerait sur l’évolution de ses conditions de vie, du mode de production et de la qualité de ces produits.

  • Rwanda Records Highest Number Of Graduates In USA From Sub-Saharan Africa #rwanda #RwOT

    A record number of Rwandan students — 1,444— recently graduated from the United States during during the 2019-20 academic year, according to official U.S. government data released on Tuesday November 17, 2020.

    This is an 11.8% increase over the previous year and places Rwanda as sixth highest among all sub-Saharan African countries. Rwanda trails only Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Ethiopia, and South Africa; sending more students to the United States than more populous neighboring countries including DRC, Tanzania, and Uganda.

    'We are proud to welcome a record number of Rwandan students to the United States,' said Jeremy Jewett, Deputy Public Affairs Officer at the U.S. Embassy in Kigali. 'These talented students are making a positive impact on colleges and universities all around the United States. We can't wait to see the impact they will have on Rwanda's growth and development when they return with world-class degrees.'

     

    The new data comes from the 2020 Open Doors report on international educational exchange, an annual report funded by the U.S. State Department and released every year during International Education Week.

    The report reveals that the United States remains the top destination for international students and hosted more than one million international students (1,075,496) for the fifth consecutive year. This year's report provides a baseline on the state of international educational exchange prior to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

    While the pandemic has created challenges for travel and international education exchange, U.S. institutions have worked to offer creative solutions and demand remains high.

    The U.S. Embassy in Kigali and its EducationUSA student advising office will celebrate International Education Week from November 16 to 20, with virtual programs to encourage future Rwandan leaders to study in the United States.

    Prospective students are welcome to join free virtual college fairs on Wednesday, November 18 (undergraduate studies) and Thursday, November 19 (graduate studies). More information and links are available on the U.S. Embassy in Kigali's Facebook page and website.

    The United States is home to more than 4,500 accredited higher education institutions, including community colleges and public and private colleges and universities. 'This vast range of choices

    means there are programs available to meet everyone's needs,' said Richard Kaburente, the embassy's EducationUSA student adviser. The EducationUSA student advising program offers free guidance and assistance to students interested in learning about or applying to U.S. colleges and universities.

  • COVID-19 is a 'wake-up command' to address Africa's challenges – Tony Blair #rwanda #RwOT
     

    The former UK prime minister addressed a virtual audience on the topic Building Back Better in Post COVID-19 Africa: The Role of Technology and Governance, as part of the Kofi A. Annan Lecture Series

    ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast, November 17, 2020/ — We have the same problems but what we also have is vastly increased urgency — Blair; Agriculture offers Africa its best opportunity for industrialization…the key is how does Africa raise productivity, develop the integrated technology in rural areas? — Adesina

    The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the challenges and opportunities of Africa's development landscape, former British prime minister Tony Blair said on Monday in a lecture organized by the African Development Institute in Abidjan.

    'We have the same problems but what we also have is vastly increased urgency…not so much a wake-up call but a wake-up command,' Blair said.

    The former UK prime minister addressed a virtual audience on the topic Building Back Better in Post COVID-19 Africa: The Role of Technology and Governance, as part of the Kofi A. Annan Lecture Series. The series, launched by the African Development Bank's African Development Institute in 2006, has covered a range of African and global development topics, including economics, finance, regional integration, human development and the environment. The lectures have been a forum for eminent persons to share policy insights on development challenges in Africa.

    Over 4,500 delegates from across the globe including Government Officials, Governors and Executive Directors of the Bank Group, the Bank's Senior Management, and leading experts and heads of institutions tuned in to the lecture.

    In opening remarks, Rabah Arezki, Chief Economist and Vice President for Economic Governance and Knowledge Management of the Bank described the task ahead as 'vast and challenging.'

    Blair, in his first ever virtual lecture, outlined three aspects which in his words would make a big difference to Africa: investing in industrialization, accelerating technological innovations, and building capacity for institutions to get things done. 'There are components to the Bank's High 5 priorities. All of those things which define the challenges that Africa has — all of those are now given added urgency by Covid and its impact,' Blair said.

    To build back better, West Africa, for instance, could capitalize on its rich source of cotton for garment production and the textile industry. Elsewhere on the continent, Africa was already leading in the digital technology space which can be scaled up.

    'Around the world you are seeing governments use technology effectively…I know this is a great ambition of the African Development Bank. This is critical,' Blair said.

    Blair highlighted the four Ps of government delivery — prioritization, policy, personnel and performance management. On prioritization, Mr. Blair called on African governments to identify and focus on their comparative advantages, and focus on delivery…focus on key transformative projects and manage expectations,' Mr. Blair said.

    'In the end, only Africa can do it, we are partners in Africa's story…in Africa's progress,' Blair said.

    Blair's speech was followed by a conversation with Bank Group President Akinwumi Adesina, who said the lecture series brought global and national perspectives to the development issues discussed.

    'We need to constantly push the frontiers of dialogue in the public sphere,' Adesina said. 'Nothing is more topical today than the challenges posed by Covid-19. The pandemic has upended economic growth,' Adesina noted.

    Agreeing with Mr. Blair about the importance of the culture of delivery, Adesina said agriculture offered Africa its best opportunity for industrialization. 'The key is: how does Africa raise productivity in agriculture…how does it develop the integrated infrastructure in those rural areas…that will allow the creation of new economic sources of prosperity out of what it has?' Adesina asked.

    Although the Bank's Technologies for African Agricultural Transformation (TAAT) initiative had allowed it to reach millions of farmers with agricultural technology and is boosting yields in wheat, there is still the need to scale up. 'We have a lot of pilots…The name of the game is scale,' Adesina said.

    Adesina cited other key interventions by the Bank, including a $10 billion COVID-19 Response Facility to provide budget support to African countries and its innovative $3 billion COVID-19 social bond, to save livelihoods.

    After leaving office, Blair launched the Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, which works to equip leaders to build open, inclusive and prosperous societies in an interconnected global world.

    Speaking after the seminar, Prof. Kevin Urama, Senior Director of the ADI said the priorities are well mapped out for Africa to build back better. The African Development Institute (ADI) has been at the forefront of accelerating capacity development, technical assistance and policy dialogue on the continent.
