EAC judicial chiefs reaffirm war on graft

KIGALI - Chief Justices from Partner States of the East African Community (EAC), meeting in Kigali since yesterday, have reaffirmed the need for their collective efforts against corruption as they discussed the regional framework on good governance. Over 30 senior judges from top judicial institutions from Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, Uganda, and Kenya are meeting for a two-day conference to make an input into the draft document of the framework that will guide EAC’s good governance practices. “The courts are the guardians of the citizens,” said Rwanda’s Chief Justice, Aloysie Cyanzaire, at the opening of the conference that is taking place at Kigali Serena Hotel.
