RPF Corruption delay works at Rubavu-Goma border post
Richard Muhumuza
The Prosecutor General Mr. Muhumuza Richard admitted that he cannot cross a red line involving RPF, according to Mr. Muhumuza the State is undertaking its own counter investigations into the case, the question would be, which State does Muhumuza work for or talking about? Is there another State he is talking about or he meant Sate House? He said that, the key suspect heard on the tape, L&F’s Lawrence Mwangi, who had initially been arrested was released on bail.
The police are also handicapped if the case involves RPF, here is what the CID Chief Badege said. “Yes we have the audio; we investigated and handed over our report to Prosecution, please ask them for details.”
Mr. Muhumuza further said “We do not believe their freedom can interfere with our investigations; besides, bail is a suspect’s right,” said Muhumuza.
Which other investigation are you looking for Mr. Muhumuza? The Rwandan Institutions are undermined by the RPF spin doctors who will always interfere in any commercial transaction on behalf of the top RPF machinery. But worse still, if President Kagame is silent and the business as usual, you should smell something, the hand of the big man is there. Why should Muhumuza the prosecutor general say that the State is making its own investigation? Whom does Muhumuza represent? Is there another State that Muhumuza is accountable?
According to the Newtimes, the Construction of the Rubavu-Goma one-stop border post should have begun in April will, instead, start in October, officials at Rwanda Transport Development Agency (RTDA) said, because of a Rwf200 million bribery which the Korean Company did not pay to the Kagame agent.
The one-stop border post, which is supposed to link Rubavu town in Rwanda’s Western Province to Goma, the capital city of DR Congo’s North Kivu Province, is a hot spot for trade with daily traffic flows of close to 50,000 people generating millions of dollars annually.
Howard G. Buffet Foundation (HGBF), founded by American philanthropist Buffet, signed up to fund the project estimated to cost about $9 million.
At a ceremony on December 15, 2014, in Rubavu, HGBF chairman, Howard Buffet, laid the foundation stone to launch the project’s works, where the Government was represented by Christian Rwakunda, the permanent secretary at the Infrastructure Ministry.
The expected construction period was 18 months; the facility would have a main building to accommodate all custom related services, car parking, handling facilities, warehouses as well as a heavy trucks transit parking.
On completion, the facility is expected to significantly improve border-crossing efficiency, facilitate trade and cut down unnecessary costs due to duplication of operations.
L&F, a Kigali-based consultancy firm specialising in architectural services, was contracted to carry out studies and designs on the project, according to sources at RTDA. The company is managed by two partners, Lawrence Mwangi Gitau, a Kenyan national, and Florent Kayitare, a Rwandan.
RPF has dominated all the Business life in Rwanda and any company that does business in Rwanda must as matter of fact cooperate with RPF, otherwise , they will make your life very difficult. That’s why they have demolished the house of Rwigara Assinapol he had built for 30 years, and now they want to take all the property of Rujugiro on similar reasons.
