Bikoro sentence reduced to one year on appeal

Nyarugenge Intermediate court yesterday overturned the two-year jail sentence that a lower court had given to former parliamentarian Munyanganizi Bikoro, reducing it to one year. Bikoro who is also a former State Minister for Environment, Mining and Natural Resources, had appealed an earlier ruling by the Kagarama Primary court which had convicted him of corruption and complicity in evasion of state taxes.
