Abstract
The document primarily focuses on the establishment and functioning of the Advisory Council at the national level, which is tasked with combating injustice and corruption in Rwanda. It outlines the composition of the Council, which includes key government officials such as the Minister in charge of justice, the Minister in charge of local government, the Ombudsman, and other high,ranking judicial and investigative authorities. The overarching legal framework aims to enhance governance and accountability, aligning with national policy goals to promote justice and integrity within public institutions. Key measures outlined in the document include the Council's responsibilities to develop strategies against injustice and corruption, review reports from various institutions, and facilitate information sharing among member institutions. The Council is also mandated to evaluate the functioning of decentralized administrative entities and approve both semiannual and annual activity reports. The implementation plan specifies that each member institution of the Advisory Council must provide a permanent technician to represent it in the Technical Committee, which is responsible for analyzing relevant documents and statistics related to corruption and injustice. The budget for the Advisory Council is prepared by the Office of the Ombudsman, with additional provisions for local levels. The document emphasizes procedural considerations, such as the need for timely submission of reports and the importance of stakeholder involvement in the Council's activities, ensuring a collaborative approach to governance and accountability.
