Former Prime Minister Dr. Pierre Damien Habumuremyi, who is facing charges of ‘bleach of trust’ and issuance of ‘unsecured cheques’, is not likely to see the light out of a detention facility any time soon due to prosecution’s fear of his perceived ability to temper with investigations.

The Prosecutor General (PG), Aimable Havugiyaremye, said on Tuesday evening that the former Prime Minister was denied bail because of his ‘influence’.

The PG told journalists that Dr. Habumuremyi would have qualified for bail as a matter of principle, but the nature of his case prevented the court from offering him the lawful right to facing justice while out of detention.

Dr. Habumuremyi is being charged with issuing bouncing cheques worth over Rwf200 million. At first, when he was arrested and detained, his file amounted to about Rwf100 million.

Later, when he was detained, some of his creditors who were afraid of suing a “former prime minister’, began showing up with claims of him defaulting and issuing them bouncing cheques.

As investigations continued, Dr. Habumuremyi was found to be owing over Rwf1.5 billion in arrears to suppliers of his Christian University of Rwanda.

The Prosecutor General said the former Primer could not even provide a guarantee to secure his release because all his other properties are indebted mainly with banks as collaterals against loans.

The prosecution had no choice but to request the court to deny him bail because he could show the ability to pay off his debts and due to his influence, he would jeopardize further investigations that are ongoing.

Havugiyaremye discredited those who sympathize with Dr. Habumuremyi saying that, “no one is above the law in Rwanda,” even though he is the former Prime Minister.

Criminal liability is personal, according to article 17 of the constitution, and provides that civil liability be determined by law.

In the same article, no one should be imprisoned on the ground of inability to fulfill obligations arising from civil or commercial laws. This, according to legal experts, is subject to interpretation.

Dr. Habumuremyi was arrested on July 3, and the prosecution says he allegedly committed the crimes between 2018 and 2019 in his capacity as a rector and owner of the university.

His university has been closed due to the inability to secure all requirements to operate after failing to mobilize enough resources to meet the required standards of a full university.

Meanwhile, according to the 2019 Foreign Private Capital (FPC) report, Rwanda’s average Return on Equity (ROE) is 13.2%, higher than the world’s profitability of 6%, however, education as a sector performs lower than 3%, and in some years it has been performing in negative.

The education sector is not only capital intense, but it is also interactive because of structural obstacles.

The manufacturing sector, for example, earned an impressive 8.95% in 2018 and averaged 21.1% between 2013 and 2018, but education earned -12.6% in the same period and having registered negatives from 2014 to 2017 save for 2018 when the sector earned a paltry 2.8% in 2018.

Unless Dr. Habumuremyi had a magic stick, otherwise his university was bound to get hit nevertheless, even though the phenomenon doesn’t exonerate him from the alleged criminal liabilities.

Ursula G. Owusu-Ekuful, the Minister of Communications Ghana, officiated the opening of the Third African Preparatory Meeting on Tuesday for the World Telecommunications Standardization Assembly (APM20-3 for WTSA-20) attracting over 30 nations in the continent. In her address, the Minister commended the stakeholders for coming together to develop a common voice on standardization matters that face the continent, particularly during this COVID-19 era.

“We are moving towards the realization that the digital world is indispensable and just as important as the physical world,” said Ursula who also proposed the need for Africa to work together to bridge the digital divide and put in place the right mechanisms to ensure that its people are not left behind.

The Ghanaian Minister, who opened the forum that is set to run up to July 30, 2020, further expressed her delight in how the ICT industry in the continent is centrally involved in guiding the development of the industry.

APM20-3 for WTSA-20 is the third in a series of African preparatory meetings for the world assembly and is convened by the African Telecommunications Union (ATU) in collaboration with the Ministry of Communications and the National Communications Authority (NCA) in Ghana. Among those taking part in the forum include African Governments through ICT ministries, regulators, Regional Economic Communities (RECs), the Telecommunications Standardization Bureau (TSB) of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU), Regional Telecommunications Organizations, private sector players, academia, and telecommunication experts.

Stakeholders convened to discuss and develop African Common Positions (AfCPs) to the World Telecommunications Standardization Assembly (WTSA 20) as well as examine Africa’s ICT development.

They will also strategize on Africa’s ICT growth for the next four years in regards to the needed telecommunication standardization work aimed at matching the speed of the rapidly evolving communications sector.

Additionally, they will discuss and agree on how Africa can be included in the leadership structure of the highest decision-making body of the ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T).

The growth of ICT plays a crucial role in improving lives and is critical to the development of all aspects of Africa’s economy. According to a study conducted by ITU on the Economic contribution of broadband, digitization, and ICT regulation in Africa, the majority of countries in the Africa region confirmed that an increase of 10 percent in mobile broadband penetration in Africa would yield an increase in 2.5 percent in GDP per capita.

ATU Secretary-General, John OMO who also spoke at the meeting reiterated the importance of developing African solutions to African problems.

“Effective harmonized standards in the continent guarantees the quality of services and products for Africans and influences Africa’s participation in the global ICT markets and industry,” he said.

Other aspects to be discussed during the meeting includes, Emerging Technologies (Artificial Intelligence -AI, 5G and related issues), Over The Top – OTT; Cyber-security; Data Centers & Markets; Internet of Things – IOT and Smart Cities; Big Data; Ultra-high-speed Networks; Privacy and Trust in Telecom/ICT; Internet resources such as country code Top Level Domains – ccTLDS, BSG, and financial inclusion gap; Counterfeit and mobile theft; ITR reviews; International permanent mobile roaming; Streamlining resolutions among others.

“ICTs are emerging as a force at the centre of our connected world and are now a key part of every discussion about our future. Now more than ever we see the need to achieve a trusted ICT environment to be able to support social and economic development in all regions of the world,” said Dr. Chaesub Lee, Director of the ITU Telecommunication Standardization Bureau.

The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA) is the highest decision-making body of the ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T), which oversees telecommunication standardization activities in the Union.

The assembly, which is the only global intergovernmental standards body for all telecommunication, convenes every four years.

Due to the disruptions brought about by COVID-19, the upcoming WTSA-20 is likely to be postponed to February 2021 and will take place in Hyderabad, India preceded by Global Standards Symposium (GSS) at the same venue.
