[12]           Asobanura ko impamvu bashingiraho bavuga ko mu gusinya ayo masezerano hakoreshejwe iterabwoba n’uburiganya ari uko, ubwo Utetiwabo Marie Thérèse yari ahungutse, abapasiteri Sebitereko Semukiza Simon na Nsabagasani Jean Baptiste bayobowe n’uwitwa Vincent bamusanze i Karongi mu cyahoze ari Komini ya Bwakira, bamubwira ko bagenzwa no kumutira inzu yo gusengeramo iri i Kigali, bamwemerera no kuzayimusanira nk’umuntu utishoboye. Avuga ko bamushakiye ibyangombwa bamuzana aho inzu ye yari yubatse i Remera bamujyana kwa resiponsabure (Responsable) w’Akagari ka Rukiri I witwa Nyirasafari Pascasie ari kumwe na nyumbakumi waho witwa Mihayo Alphonse, babwira abo bayobozi ko bashaka gusanira uwo mukirisitu wabo Utetiwabo Marie Thérèse inzu nyuma bakajya bayisengeramo, ubuyobozi burabibemerera.

[14]           Akomeza avuga ko kugira ngo batere Utetiwabo Marie Thérèse ubwoba, bize amayeri yo kumujyana ku biro bya Komini Bwakira mu cyahoze ari Perefegitura ya Kibuye, bamujyana mu biro bya Assistant Bourgmestre wa Komini witwa Bizimana Anastase, maze baramufatirana bavuga ko bamwishyuye, ibyo bikaba bigaragazwa ni uko kuri ayo masezerano y’ubugure, na Assistant Bourgmestre yanditseho ngo “la dernière tranche est donnée en ma face” (sic), ahita ashyiraho n’umukono we. Aha akaba ari nacyo gihe basinyiye ayo masezerano bise ko ari ay’ubugure bw’ikibanza nyamara cyari cyubatsemo n’inzu.

[15]           Me Ntigurirwa François mu myanzuro ye avuga ko izindi nenge zigaragaza uburiganya n’iterabwoba byakoreshejwe kugira ngo ADEPR igure umutungo wa Utetiwabo Marie Thérèse, ari izi zikurikira:

-          Kuba Pasiteri Sebitereko Simon agaragara nk’uwasinye P.O mu batangabuhamya b’uwaguze, akanongera agasinya nk’uhagarariye uguze kandi naho agasinya P.O, aho hose hakaba hagaragaraho amasinyatire adasa. Bagasanga atari gusinya P.O (par ordre) ngo agire double qualité asinya nk’uguze, ngo narangiza asinye nk’umutangabuhamya w’uwaguze;

-          Kuba harabayeho amasezerano abiri atandukanye, amwe ariho itariki ya 28/05/1997 n’andi atagaragaza itariki yasinyiweho;

-          Kuba mu kujya gukora amasezerano baragiye kuyakorera ku Kibuye, bagakoresha abatangabuhamya batazi n’aho umutungo ugurishwa uherereye, abo bapasiteri bahagarariye ADEPR bakaba barashingiye ku bujiji n’ubukene bya Utetiwabo Marie Thérèse bakamushukisha 80.000 Frw, ahubwo ayo mafaranga akaba yari ay’ubukode;

-          Kuba mu mwanzuro wabo (ADEPR) wo kwiregura mu rubanza RC 0103/14/TGI/NYGE, barivugiye ko nyuma ya Jenoside yakorewe Abatutsi basabye ubuyobozi ikibanza cyarimo inzu isenyutse kugira ngo bajye bahasengera, ubuyobozi bukababwira ko nyiraho ashobora kuba ahari, aribwo bashakishije Utetiwabo Marie Thérèse agahitamo kugurisha bakamuha 100.000 Frw, ko iyo mvugo igaragaza ko baguze inzu yubatse.

[16]           Akomeza avuga ko, kubera uburiganya n’iterabwoba byakorewe Utetiwabo Marie Thérèse, Konseye (conseiller) wa Segiteri Remera witwa Nzabahimana Neto yanditse ku masezerano ko baguze ikibanza cyasenyutsemo inzu, nyamara atari ukuri kuko bitandukanye n’imvugo za ba nyirubwite (ADEPR) biyemerera ko baguze inzu nk’uko bigaragara mu mwanzuro wabo wo kwiregura mu Rukiko Rwisumbuye rwa Nyarugenge. Ibi bikanahura n’ibyavuzwe n’abatangabuhamya bizewe neza kandi bahatuye kuva kera barimo Nyirasafari Pascasie wari Responsable w’Akagari ka Rukiri ya I, Nyumbakumi Mihayo Alphonse, Nyabyenda Narcisse na Senateri Nkusi Juvénal bemeje ko aho hantu hari inzu itarigeze isenyuka.

[17]           Mu gusoza, asaba ko mu gihe Urukiko rwasanga amasezerano yarakozwe mu buryo bunyuranyije n’amategeko rwari rukwiye kuzayatesha agaciro, umutungo ukagaruka mu maboko ya Tuyishimire Iréné Bertrand, ko ariko kubera ko ADEPR yubatsemo indi nzu, yahagumana igatanga agaciro k’ikibanza kangana na 75.225.332 Frw, hiyongeyeho 50.000.000 Frw ahwanye n’agaciro k’inzu yasenywe.

[18]           Me Safari Ibrahim uburanira ADEPR avuga ko imwe mu mpamvu uruhande rurega rushingiraho runenga amasezerano y’ubugure yabaye hagati ya Utetiwabo Marie Thérèse na ADEPR ari uburiganya n’iterabwoba, no kuba harabayeho amasezerano abiri atandukanye. Avuga ko amasezerano ADEPR izi ko yakoranye na Utetiwabo Marie Thérèse ari ayo ku itariki ya 28/05/1997 yakorewe imbere y’ubuyobozi bwa Segiteri ya Remera agasinywaho n’abatangabuhamya, ko andi avugwa yasobanurwa n’uyaburanisha.

[19]           Ku bivugwa na Tuyishimire Iréné Bertrand ko ayo masezerano yasinywe hakoreshejwe uburiganya, amayeri n’iterabwoba bikomeye bikozwe n’abayobozi ba ADEPR, avuga ko mu manza zose zabaye urega atigeze agaragariza Urukiko ibimenyetso byerekana iterabwoba n’uburiganya byakorewe Utetiwabo Marie Thérèse, ko kuba inzu n’ikibanza byagura 100.000 Frw ataribyo bigaragaza uburiganya cyangwa iterabwoba nk’uko bashaka kubyumvikanisha, kuko ushobora gusanga igihe amasezerano yakorwaga ayo mafaranga yari menshi cyane.

[20]           Avuga ko indi mpamvu igaragaza ko nta terabwoba cyangwa uburiganya byabaye mu masezerano aregerwa, ari uko n’inyandiko Utetiwabo Marie Thérèse yagiye yandikirana n’ubuyobozi nta na hamwe zigaragaza ko hari iterabwoba cyangwa uburiganya yashyizweho. Atanga urugero rw’inyandiko yo ku itariki ya 24/11/2011 Utetiwabo Marie Thérèse yiyandikiye arega agaragaza ko inzu ye yari yarangiritse maze akabeshywa n’abayobozi ba ADEPR ko bagiye kumusanira, bityo ko abarega ko bamukoreye uburiganya bwo kumusenyera inzu. ADEPR ikaba isanga uburiganya yavugaga ari ubwo gusenya inzu bakayikuramo ibyumba bakayihinduramo urusengero, ko ariko ntaho yagaragaje ko yasinyishijwe amasezerano ashyizweho iterabwoba, yaba ayo gusanirwa cyangwa ayo kugurirwa.

[21]           Me Safari Ibrahim uburanira ADEPR akomeza avuga ko nta kirego cyo gushyirwaho iterabwoba cyangwa uburiganya mu gusinya amasezerano Utetiwabo Marie Thérèse yigeze atanga mu nzego z’ibanze, nyamara uyu munsi urega aragaragaza ko amasezerano yakozwe ku bw’uburiganya n’iterabwoba bitewe ni uko atishimiye igiciro cya 100.000 Frw cyatanzwe. Avuga ko, nk’uko byagiye bigarukwaho mu maraporo atandukanye y’inzego z’ibanze, byagaragaye ko ubugure bwabayeho, ko ibyo Utetiwabo Marie Thérèse yavugaga ko atagurishije, ko icyo yumvikanye na ADEPR ari ukumusanira byari ibinyoma. Atanga urugero rwa raporo yo ku itariki ya 05/12/2011 n’iyo ku itariki ya 07/12/2011 yafatiwe umwanzuro ku itariki ya 14/12/2011, ko muri ayo maraporo yose nta na hamwe Utetiwabo Marie Thérèse yigeze agaragaza ko yasinye kubera iterabwoba cyangwa ku bw’uburiganya nk’uko Tuyishimire Iréné Bertrand abivuga.

[22]           Asoza avuga ko ADEPR yari ifite uburenganzira ku mutungo wayo yaguze kubera ko nta terabwoba cyangwa uburiganya byakoreshejwe mu kuwugura, ko ariko Urukiko rubibonye ukundi rugasanga ibivugwa n’abarega bifite ishingiro, mu rwego rwo gutanga ubutabera, Urukiko rwakoresha expertise hagasuzumwa agaciro k’ikibanza kuko inzu bavuga yari yarasenyutse, uretse n’ibyo abarega bakaba nta gaciro kayo bagaragaje uretse kugereranya gusa.

UKO URUKIKO RUBIBONA

[23]           Impande zombi muri uru rubanza zemeranya ko amasezerano y’ubugure yakozwe hagati ya Utetiwabo Marie Thérèse na ADEPR yabayeho, icyo batemeranyaho ni uburyo yakozwemo ku buryo yaba afite agaciro. Ku ruhande rwa Tuyishimire Iréné Bertrand bavuga ko yabaye hakoreshejwe uburiganya n’iterabwoba ku buryo agomba guteshwa agaciro, mu gihe ku ruhande rwa ADEPR bo bavuga ko buri ruhande rwayasinye mu bwisanzure, bityo ko agomba kugumana agaciro kayo.

[24]           Ingingo ya 11 y’Igitabo cya gatatu cy’urwunge rw’amategeko mbonezamubano yakurikizwaga ubwo amasezerano aregerwa muri uru rubanza yasinywaga, iteganya ko iterabwoba rigiriwe uwemeye inshingano riba impamvu iyitesha agaciro naho ryaba ryarakozwe n’undi wese utari uwo amasezerano afitiye akamaro. Ingingo ya 12, igika cya mbere, y’icyo gitabo igateganya ko iterabwoba riba nyaryo mu gihe rikozwe ku buryo rihungabanya umuntu ushyira mu gaciro kandi rigashobora kumutera impungenge zo kwishyira cyangwa gushyira umutungo we mu byago bikomeye kandi bititirije[2]. Abahanga mu mategeko bavuga ko uvuga ko yashyizweho iterabwoba agomba kwerekana ko hari impamvu zatumye yemera ku gahato. Iterabwoba nk’ikintu cyabayeho, rigomba gutangirwa ibimenyetso hakoreshejwe uburyo bwose bushoboka (Celui qui pretend qu’il a été victime d’une violence doit démontrer que sont réunies les conditions exigées pour que ce vice de consentement existe. Fait juridique, la violence peut être prouvée par tous les moyens, y compris par les présomptions de l’homme)[3].

[25]           Ku birebana n’igisobanuro cy’iterabwoba, abahanga mu mategeko Philippe Malinvaud, Dominique Fenouillet na Mustapha Mekki, mu gitabo cyabo Droit des obligations, basobanura ko ari imbaraga zishyirwa kuri umwe mu bakorana amasezerano kugira ngo ayasinye. Bavuga ko iterabwoba ritandukanye n’izindi mpamvu zishobora gutuma ukwemera guta agaciro nko kuba habayeho kwibeshya, ko iyo habayeho iterabwoba umuntu yemera amasezerano kubera gutinya. (La violence est une contrainte exercée sur l’un des contractants en vue de l’amener à contracter. En cela la violence diffère des autres vices du consentement. Ici, le consentement n’est pas vicié par une erreur, spontanée ou provoquée; il est extorqué : la victime donne son consentement sous l’empire de la violence, par crainte […])[4].

[26]           Abandi bahanga Philippe Malaurie, Laurent Aynès na Philippe Stoffel-Munck, mu gitabo cyabo nacyo cyitwa Droit des obligations, bavuga ko iterabwoba riba rigamije kotsa igitutu umwe mu bakorana amasezerano adashobora kwigobotora kugira ngo yemere ibyo atakagombye kwemera, hakoreshwa imbaraga z’umubiri cyangwa gushyirwa ku nkeke. ([…] La violence consiste à exercer sur l’une des parties une pression physique ou morale à laquelle celle-ci ne peut résister afin d’obtenir son consentement […])[5]. François Terré, Philippe Simler na Yves Lequette, mu gitabo cyabo cya Droit civil, nabo basobanura ko habaho iterabwoba mu gihe umuntu asinya amasezerano bitewe n’igitutu ashyirwaho bigatuma agira ubwoba ko natayasinya ashobora kugirirwa nabi […]. Mu yandi magambo, usinya amasezerano ayasinya abizi neza ko ari mabi, gusa akaba atatinyuka kwanga kuyasinya kubera ko aba ari gutinya kuzagirirwa nabi aramutse yanze. (Il y a violence lorsqu’une personne contracte sous la menace d’un mal qui fait naître chez elle un sentiment de crainte […]. Autrement dit, le consentement est atteint non dans sa dimension réflexive, mais dans sa dimension volitive: tout en sachant que le contrat proposé est mauvais pour elle, la victime de la violence n’en donne pas moins son consentement, car elle est menacée d’un mal plus grave au cas où elle refuserait de s’engager)[6].

[27]           Ku birebana n’uburiganya, ingingo ya 16 y’Igitabo cya gatatu cy’urwunge rw’amategeko mbonezamubano cyavuzwe haruguru, iteganya ko ari impamvu itesha agaciro amasezerano iyo ubucabiranya bwakoreshejwe ku ruhande rumwe buteye ku buryo bugaragara neza ko iyo budakoreshwa, urundi ruhande rutari kuyemera. Ingingo ya 17 y’icyo gitabo igateganya ko uburiganya budakekwa, ko ahubwo bugomba kugaragazwa[7].

[28]           Abahanga mu mategeko François Terré, Philippe Simler na Yves Lequette, mu gitabo cyabo Droit civil, Les obligations, basobanura ko uburiganya mu ikorwa ry’amasezerano ari ibinyoma byose umwe mu bagirana amasezerano abwira mugenzi we bituma yibeshya agafata icyemezo cyo kuyasinya. Uwo muntu mu by’ukuri ntaba yibeshye, ahubwo baba bamubeshye.
