He has also said all these could not have been possible without their most trusted bank UBA and its great leadership that have safeguarded their merchants’ funds with wisdom and extra care throughout the investigation.

Muhinyuza also thanked the Rwanda leadership for always encouraging businesses to think big and scale beyond our borders, taking advantage of available opportunities not only in this great East African community but also throughout Africa in general.
Further thanking the Rwanda embassy in Kenya for the support and encouragement that has kept them going.
Lastly he praised his lead lawyer Danstan Omari and his team for fighting a hard battle.
