President Pierre Nkurunziza says there are some people whose aim is to tarnish the image of Burundi. He says what the judicial institution is currently experiencing is connected to the political situation. \u201cYou know that there are some people who attempted to overthrow the elected government since 2015.From that time, different institutions were disrupted namely the army, police and intelligence services.Currently, it is the turn of justice. Stand firm,\u201d President Nkurunziza told workers of justice section.<\/p>\n

Burundi Head of State encourages all workers of the justice department to remain united and do well their job: \u201cTo all the judges, I recognise your hardwork. It\u2019s praise worthy.You have to stay focused and remain united\u201d. In recognition of their good deeds, the President rewarded 14 workers who\u00a0 distinguished themselves last year.<\/p>\n

Mrs. Kanyana says she believes in Burundi justice and invites judges to work professionally and avoid mistakes: \u201cYou have no right to make mistakes. Maybe those who accuse us will base their claims on the little mistakes you make.Shun them and your accusers will find no way.\u201d<\/p>\n
