Editor,

At one point in April this year, we were informed of efforts by police, prosecution, Supreme Court, Rwanda Revenue Authority, Ministries of Justice and Finance to recover money mismanaged by former officials of microfinance institutions.

What we need to know is whether those responsible for the mess were finally punished.

Reports put the funds misappropriated at about Rwf7billion which is a lot of money.

We are building a country based on transparency and nobody should embezzle public funds and get away with it.

Once such unscrupulous officals are punished, it will send a strong message to those with sinister motives. 

We are ready to help anti-graft bodies to recover the lost money and hold those responsible accountable sooner than later.
