About this statute

This article says the Law sets out the responsibilities, powers, organization, and functioning of the Office of the Ombudsman. The Office must have its head office in Kigali City, but it may move elsewhere in Rwanda with Cabinet approval, and it may open branches in other parts of Rwanda. The Office is independent, must not receive instructions from other institutions when carrying out daily duties, and has administrative and financial autonomy. The Office has a list of missions, including linking citizens with institutions, fighting corruption, handling complaints, receiving asset declarations, and reporting annually. The Office must follow guiding principles that favor dialogue, mutual understanding, mediation, conciliation, guidance, and correction before using its legal powers.
