Corruption, a vice Rwanda will not embrace

Most African countries lose millions of revenue each year due to corruption, especially in the civil service. Public funds are often embezzled by civil servants with sticky fingers who lead lavish lifestyles at the mercy of citizens they are supposed to serve. Rwanda is a country that has not only preached a zero tolerance for one of the world’s oldest vices – corruption – but she has put into practice what she preaches. There are laws and regulations in place to combat corruption. The country has won accolades from various institutions of integrity for her anti-corruption drive. The Rwandan government continues to walk the talk. Today we report of the setting up of the Anti-Corruption Consultative Council, a body that brings together all key government departments that are involved in the fight against corruption.
