Miss Rwanda 2022 has been sentenced to a three-month suspended prison by the Kicukir District Court after she was found guilty of drunk driving in Rwanda, according to reports.
According to prosecutors, “the suspect was caused by drunk driving and was also charged with driving without a license, damaging public infrastructure including a lamppost and a palm tree, and leaving the scene after the incident.”
She was pleaded guilty to some of the charges, explaining that she had no intention of fleeing, but had walked away out of fear of the crowd gathering and filming her.
Prosecutors said that, she left a bar at around midnight, driving a KIA SPORTAGE. On the way back to Nyakabanda, in the Kicukiro district, she lost control of her vehicle, hitting an electricity pole and a palm tree, causing damage to her car.
The suspect legal team argued against a prison sentence, suggesting a fine instead.
They highlighted her role as a promoter of national initiatives, particularly in the fight against stunting, as well as her remorseful attitude and apology.
