Belgium donates to police

KIGALI - The Belgian government, through the Belgian Technical Cooperation (BTC), has given the Rwanda National Police (RNP) 36 cars and 82 motorcycles, worth more than Rwf 600 million. The donation will help the force’s Criminal Investigation Department (CID) enhance operational capacity. According to officials, the equipment was provided within the framework of the “Project to Support Crime Investigation for Fair Administration of Justice and Good Governance,” a project co-founded by Rwanda and Belgium. The project aims at  harnessing the capacity of CID in detecting, investigating and preventing crimes in a professional manner, according to international standards and with respect of the law.
