About this statute

This provision states the purposes of several laws: one sets the periods and methods for interception of communications, and others establish public bodies such as LODA, REMA, INMR, and ILPD, and authorize Rwanda’s accession to the Africa Rice Center. This article defines key terms used in the Law. Interception of communications is lawful only when done for national security and in accordance with this Law. Intercepting the President of the Republic’s communications is strictly prohibited. Only the relevant Government security authorities may apply for an interception warrant, and if a competent National Prosecutor gives a verbal warrant, the written warrant must follow within 24 hours or the interception is treated as illegal.
