“I was received yesterday by President Paul Kagame of Rwanda,” he told The Point. “I am here discussing cooperation between our two judiciaries in the areas of electronic case management, alternative dispute resolution and training at Rwanda Law and Development Institute where many judiciary staff have been trained and currently where 8 Gambians are undertaking one year training for legal practice.”
“I held discussions with chief justice and judges and institute staff, visited the Rwanda Forensic Institute which provides forensic analysis for the Rwandan justice sector.”
The Gambia’s chief justice, as part of his tour, also visited the Gisozi Genocide Memorial in Kigali where 250,000 genocide victims were buried. He also laid a wreath and observed a minute silence in honour of victims.
“I was accompanied by Rouggie Bah, director of Gambia Law School and Kumba Mboge, principal legal researcher and first class magistrate. I was chief prosecutor of UN Rwanda tribunal from 2003 to 2015 and responsible for investigation of the genocide and the prosecution of its principal planners and architects,” he revealed.
