Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Gasabo Primary Court will on November 10 pronounce itself on the request filed by complainants in the case of former Prime Minister Pierre-Damien Habumuremyi seeking to settle out of court.<\/p>\n

The date for the decision was set during a hearing held on November 2.<\/p>\n

Habumuremyi was summoned by the court following a case filed by Daniel Bizima, saying that he rented out vehicles to transport Habumuremyi\u2019s workers, but never got his payment worth Rwf3,200,000.<\/p>\n

However, during the November 2 hearing, Bizima\u2019s lawyer told the judge that both parties had agreed to solve the issue amicably and requested to withdraw the case.<\/p>\n

By law, withdrawal of a civil case is the claimant\u2019s right to announce the decision to withdraw a case he or she had instituted, subject to the respondent\u2019s consent.<\/p>\n

The lawyer said that there was an agreement to pay in installments over one year.<\/p>\n

The court will deliver its decision on the closure of the case on November 10.<\/p>\n

In 2020, Habumuremyi was convicted and sentenced to three years in jail over the issuance of bounced cheques.<\/p>\n

The prosecution said Habumuremyi had issued bounced cheques worth Rwf170 million to different people on behalf of his Christian University of Rwanda, a private school he owned.<\/p>\n

After serving for one year and three months, Habumuremyi was released after he was granted presidential clemency and released on October 14, last year.<\/p>\n

While he was granted a pardon, he still had to clear all his debts.<\/p>\n

However, it\u2019s been a year after his release and has only managed to pay off a few of his creditors as sources say.<\/p>\n

Habumuremyi had been sentenced by the Nyarugenge Intermediate Court to three years in prison and a fine of Rwf892 million.<\/p>\n

He previously served as Education Minister and Rwanda\u2019s representative to the East African Legislative Assembly. He was also Prime Minister between 2011 and 2014.<\/p>\n

He founded the Christian University of Rwanda in 2017.<\/p>\n

Habumuremyi also served as the Chairperson of the Chancellery for Heroes, National Orders, and Decorations of Honour (CHENO) until 2019.<\/p>\n
