Rwanda remains top performer in fight against corruption

afrol News, 16 March - Transparency international has applauded Rwanda’s commitment to root out corruption from government and private institutions, saying it has progressed in establishing institutions to fight corruption.

The organisation’s chief, Huguette Labelle said Rwanda remains the top performer in the East African community in the fight against corruption. “The country is characterised by the establishment of all institutions and laws to fight it," she said.

She said Rwanda has an urgent need to develop laws to protect whistle blowers and enhance access to information since the country has taken the initiative of establishing all necessary laws to guard against corruption.

"My team and I have come to see what is happening in Rwanda in the institutions and laws to fight corruption," Ms Labelle said, further stating that the meeting with the Ombudsman was to have a firsthand idea on what and how the office fights and prevents corruption.

Ms Labelle's visit comes at a time when Rwanda has appended various conventions to fight corruption. She has also visited Uganda, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania and Rwanda.
