Following last month’s report by Transparency International, which ranked Rwanda as the fourth least corrupt country in Africa, The New Times spoke to the country’s Chief Ombudsman to make sense of current efforts against corruption. She says Rwanda can do more to fight corruption, starting by educating those who are still young by including values of integrity on the curriculum for primary schools. Teaching the right values to young people is key in fighting against corruption and it is in line with the country’s anti-graft policy.

A total of 2,032 primary school books have been stolen in Muhanga District between December 19 last year and February 3. The books were stolen by unidentified people and are suspected to be on sale in Muhanga and Kigali City.
