RUTAYISIRE EPHREM & BIZIMENYERA EMMANUEL VS NSENGUMUREMYI EPHREM

On July 22, 2013, the two complainants filed a case about an article in INGEZI newspaper issue No.44. The contention was about the statement “Umwimukira w’umucikacumu abatwarira umutango batazi aho awujyana”which the complainants said they never uttered.

Outcome: Since the journalist couldn’t prove that the said statement was actually uttered and could neither produce his notes, the Ethics Committee ruled that the journalist shall issue a correction in his next issues.
