While addressing the participants of the Dialogue, Minister Busingye said that a number of African Countries continue to face numerous internal and external obstacles in recovering stolen assets.
“Internal challenges have been cited as the absence of comprehensive policies, lack of technical capacity and ineffective inter-agency cooperation. Fortunately, some International and Regional Networks in Asset Recovery have been set up and should be working. I would like to call upon all participants here present to use those networks while trying to recover stolen assets in their respective Countries” He added
Minister concluded his remarks by encouraging countries to share their respective experiences in fighting corruption and asset recovery. He ensured that Rwanda is open to share its zero Tolerance to Corruption Policy and its commitment to anti-corruption effective action.
