Ahubwo ngo bashyizweho na Rujugiro usanzwe ari umunyamigabane munini muri icyo kigo, ku buryo Urukiko rukwiye gukuraho icyemezo cy’umucamanza wa mbere.
Intumwa ya Leta Ntwali we yavuze ko Guverinoma ifite inshingano yo gucunga imitungo yasizwe na bene yo, by’umwihariko y’abaturage batari mu gihugu.
Ngo umunsi Rujugiro yagarutse mu Rwanda azashyikirizwa imitungo ye.
Abanyamategeko ba UTC bo bavuze ko nta makosa urukiko rwakoze, kuko ikirego cyatanzwe bakimara kumenya ko UTC yatangiye gucungwa na Leta nk’umutungo wasizwe na bene wo.
Gimara yavuze ko kuba ahagarariye UTC bitanyuranyije n’amategeko, kuko afite uburenganzira bwo gukora akazi k’ubwavoka, akunganira abantu n’ibigo mu nkiko.
Byongeye, UTC ngo ni ikigo cyanditswe mu gihugu kinyamuryango cy’urukiko ruri kuburanisha uru rubanza.
Ahubwo ngo urukiko rwa mbere rwakoze amakosa kuko rutategetse ko UTC isubizwa ubukode n’inyubako yayo yagurishijwe, ndetse ngo ntirwagennye impozamarira ikwiye.

Mu rubanza rwa mbere, UTC yavuze ko kugeza mbere y’uko iriya nyubako itangira gucungwa na Komisiyo ishinzwe gucunga imitugo yatawe mu 2013, yari itarakira ubutumwa bwa RRA buyimenyesha n’ibirarane by’imisoro.
Ahubwo ngo yari ifitiye Banki ya Kigali inguzanyo ya miliyari 1.3 Frw.
Leta ariko ivuga ko Rujugiro atari kumenya neza iby’ayo madeni kuko yari hanze y’igihugu.
Ni mu gihe abunganira UTC bavuze ko iriya nzu yakodeshwaga nibura 120,000$ buri kwezi, ku buryo imibare yashyikirijwe urukiko yavugaga ko kuva mu 2013 kugeza mu 2017 yagombaga kuba yinjije miliyoni $5.6.

Leta yavuze ko Rujugiro ajya kuva mu Rwanda atigeze agena ugomba gucunga imigabane ye, bityo yagombaga gukurikiranwa na Leta.
Inyungu yayo go yashyirwaga kuri konti izwi, ku buryo yari kuyisubizwa agarutse.
Ibyo kwishyura umwenda wa BK n’imisoro byo ngo ntibyagombaga kuba inshigano za Komisiyo cyangwa Leta, zari iz’abayobora ikigo, kuko Leta itigeze yinjira mu miyoborere ya UTC, ahubwo yacungaga imigabane ya Rujugiro gusa.
