Statute overview

About this statute

This article sets up REMA and says it has legal personality, administrative and financial autonomy, and must be governed by public service laws. REMA’s headquarters is in Kigali, and it may move elsewhere in Rwanda if necessary. REMA must supervise environmental issues in national development plans and carry out listed environmental management tasks. The Minister in charge of Justice may give REMA employees the same powers as criminal investigators, and REMA may order suspension of activities that do not comply with environmental laws. REMA is given powers to request environmental reports, carry out unannounced inspections, cooperate with other bodies, receive support, and award prizes or support.
