Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>The prosecution on Tuesday requested judges at Nyarugenge Intermediate Court to hand a five-year prison sentence and a fine of Rwf3 million to Emmanuel Nibishaka over charges of fraud and using forged documents.<\/p>\n

Nibishaka is Deputy Chief Executive Officer at Rwanda Governance Board (RGB).<\/p>\n

During the hearing in substance, the prosecution which was represented by prosecutor Charles Kayove said that last year, on various occasions Nibishaka collected about $22,100 approximately Rwf24,050,988, from different people with a promise to help them get visas to the US for studies.<\/p>\n

In addition, he forged the invitation which invited them to meetings in the US as well as emails using another person’s account.<\/p>\n

The defendant also altered the date and destination of a previous travel clearance and used it to travel to Kenya, allegedly after getting wind of the criminal case against him.<\/p>\n

Usually, senior civil servants are required to seek authorisation from the Prime Minister\u2019s office before traveling out of the country.<\/p>\n

Kayove concluded by requesting the court to convict him on both crimes and sentence him to five years in jail as well as a fine of Rwf 3 million arguing that they asked for a shorter sentence because he has been cooperative since his arrest.<\/p>\n

Nibishaka admitted all the charges saying that he didn\u2019t come to defend himself, but to apologize and requested a suspended sentence to be able to refund the victims.<\/p>\n

In addition, Nibishaka also pointed out that those people wanted help from him because they knew others he had helped, partly because he had previously lived in the US.<\/p>\n

After listening to all parties, the presiding judge set the ruling for December 14.<\/p>\n
