[12]           Naho ikibazo cy’inyungu z’umuburanyi udafite urundi rubanza mu Rukiko rusanzwe cyangwa utaratangira kugirwaho ingaruka n’ingingo z’Itegeko aregera ko zinyuranyije n’Itegeko Nshinga cyasuzumwe mu buryo bwimbitse mu rubanza rwa Me Mugisha Richard.[18] Guhera ku gika cya 20 kugeza ku cya 32 by’urwo rubanza, uru Rukiko rwasobanuye ko kuregera itegeko ko rinyuranyije n’Itegeko Nshinga bikwiye gufatwa nk’ikibazo gikomeye kandi kigomba gukemurwa aho gufatwa nk’ikibazo kitariho, inyungu  z’uwatanze ikirego zikaba zishingiye ku kuba asaba Urukiko kwemeza ko hari ingingo z’itegeko zibangamiye uburenganzira buteganywa n’Itegeko Nshinga cyangwa zituma intego igamijwe n’Itegeko Nshinga itagerwaho nyamara igomba kurengerwa. Kuba ingingo z’Itegeko riregerwa ziriho ubwabyo bihesha urega inyungu zo gutanga ikirego asaba ko zivanwaho bitabaye ngombwa gutegereza ko zimugiraho ingaruka. Mu yandi magambo, muri bene ibi birego, inyungu zishobora kuba ari iziriho cyangwa izishobora kubaho.

[13]         Uru Rukiko rwasanze kandi inyungu zigomba kumvikana mu buryo bwagutse bitewe n’uko akamaro k’urubanza ruciwe kuri bene ibi birego karenga inyungu bwite z’uwatanze ikirego nk’uko bizwi mu manza zisanzwe kakagera no kuri rubanda, hakaba nta wundi wakongera kuregera izo ngingo zari zararegewe ko zinyuranyije n’Itegeko Nshinga. Iki ni nacyo cyatumye Umushingamategeko ateganya ko imanza zivanyeho ingingo z’Itegeko kubera ko zinyuranyije n’Itegeko Nshinga zitangazwa mu Igazeti ya Leta kugira ngo abaturage bose babimenyeshwe.

[14]           Urukiko rurasanga iby’uko inyungu iregerwa mu manza zisaba kwemeza ko itegeko rinyunyije n’Itegeko Nshinga igomba kurebwa mu buryo bwagutse byaragarutsweho na none mu rubanza rwa Me Kabuye Ngendahayo.[19] Muri urwo rubanza, uru Rukiko rwasanze ingingo z’Itegeko ryerekeye imicungire y’umutungo w’abashyingiranywe, impano n’izungura zaregewe ko zinyuranyije n’Itegeko Nshinga zireba umuntu wese uri muri sosiyete nyarwanda kubera ko ishyingiranwa, izungura ndetse n’uburenganzira ku mutungo ntawe bikumira, bivuze ko buri munyarwanda wese harimo na Kabuye Ngendahayo, ashobora kurikoresha cyangwa rikamugiraho ingaruka. Kuba rero ari mubo itegeko rireba kandi nawe akaba ashobora kuryifashisha kabone nubwo yaba atarahura n’ikibazo ngo ingingo zaryo zimugireho ingaruka akaba aribyo bimuhesha inyungu zo kuba yaregera ko hari ingingo zaryo zinyuranyije n’uburenganzira bwe buteganywa n’Itegeko Nshinga.

[15]           Mu rubanza rubanziriza urundi rwa Byansi Samuel Baker rwaciwe ku wa 10/12/2021[20] ndetse n’urwaciwe ku wa 24/12/2021,[21] uru Rukiko nyuma yo kwibutsa umurongo watanzwe mu rubanza rwa Me Mugisha Richard, rwasobanuye ko mu rwego rwo kwirinda ibirego bitari ngombwa bishobora kubangamira imikorere y’inkiko, uwatanze ikirego afite inshingano zo kugaragaza umwihariko w’inyungu we ku giti cye aharanira mu rubanza. Rwasanze Byansi Samuel Baker yari afite umwihariko w’uko yari umunyamakuru uregera ivanwaho ry’ingingo z’amategeko yavugaga ko zibangamiye ubwisanzure bw’itangazamakuru, ubwo kugaragaza ibitekerezo n’ubwo guhabwa amakuru. Mu rubanza rwaciwe ku wa 24/12/2021, Urukiko rwasanze Itegeko riteganya ibyaha n’ibihano muri rusange rireba buri wese uri ku butaka bw’u Rwanda harimo n’abanyamakuru, bityo ingingo zaryo avuga ko zikwiye kuvaho kuko zinyuranye n’Itegeko Nshinga zikaba zishobora kumubangamira ubu cyangwa mu bihe bizaza.

[16]           Urukiko rwasanze kandi, Byansi Samuel Baker, nk’umunyamakuru w’umwuga, yari akomatanyirije hamwe inyungu rusange n’inyungu bwite zo gutanga ikirego nk’uko byasobanuwe haruguru. Ku bireba inyungu rusange, yarebewe mu kuba ingingo z’Itegeko riteganya ibyaha n’ibihano muri rusange, zireba abaturage muri rusange nawe arimo, zikaba zishobora kumubangamira mu burenganzira bwe. Naho inyungu bwite ireberwa mu kuba ari umunyamakuru w’umwuga uharanira iterambere ry’ubwisanzure bw’itangazamakuru n’amategeko arigenga aho kureberwa mu ngaruka ingingo z’amategeko yaregeraga zamugizeho. Kuba yari umunyamakuru byamuhaga umwihariko watumye muri izo manza Urukiko rubona ko amategeko aregera ko anyuranyije n’Itegeko Nshinga ari amwe mu mategeko amugenga mu mwuga we, bityo bikaba bitari ngombwa gutegereza ko abanza kumugiraho ingaruka kugira ngo yemererwe kugaragaza ko anyuranyije n’Itegeko Nshinga.

[17]           Hashingiwe ku bimaze gusobanurwa haruguru, Urukiko rurasanga mu gusuzuma inyungu z’urega hagomba kurebwa ibintu bikurikira, kuba hariho kimwe muri byo bikaba byihagije kugira ngo Urukiko rwemeze ko urega afite inyungu:

-          Niba hari itegeko riregerwa ko rinyuranyije n’Itegeko Nshinga rireba urega cyangwa icyiciro abarizwamo by’umwihariko ku buryo afite inyungu ku giti cye zo gutanga ikirego. Urugero ni nk’Itegeko rireba abanyamakuru, abaganga, abarimu, n’abandi;

-          Niba itegeko riregerwa ko rinyuranyije n’Itegeko Nshinga rireba abaturage muri rusange ku buryo rishobora kugira ingaruka ku burenganzira bwabo, ibyo bikaba aribyo bihesha umuntu uwo ari we wese rishobora kuzagiraho ingaruka inyungu zo kuriregera ko rinyuranyije n’Itegeko Nshinga;

-          Niba uwatanze ikirego ari umwavoka, uyu akaba mu nyungu z’ubutabera, yemerewe gutanga ikirego mu rwego rwo guteza imbere amategeko cyangwa uburenganzira bw’abarebwa n’iryo tegeko kabone nubwo nta nyungu we ku giti cye yaba afite muri icyo kirego.

[18]           Ku bireba uru rubanza, Urukiko rurasanga Murangwa Edward avuga ko ingingo z’amategeko aregera zijyanye n’ibikorwa bimwe by’iperereza, isaka, itambamira ry’ibintu cyangwa igenzura ry’itumanaho, uburyo bikorwamo bikaba bibangamiye uburenganzira bw’ibanze buteganywa n’Itegeko Nshinga harimo n’ubwo kubahiriza icyubahiro n’agaciro ka muntu no kutavogera imibereho bwite, iy’umuryango, iy’urugo rwe cyangwa ubutumwa yohererezanya n’abandi. Avuga na none ko izo ngingo ziha ububasha bw’umurengera Ubugenzacyaha n’Ubushinjacyaha kuko hari aho ziteganya ko isaka rishobora gukorwa hatabanje gutangwa urupapuro rw’isaka, ariko ko no kuba rushobora gutangwa n’Ubushinjacyaha asanga bivogera inshingano z’Ubucamanza zo kurinda uburenganzira n’ubwisanzure bwa muntu ziteganywa n’ingingo ya 43 y’Itegeko Nshinga.

[19]           Hashingiwe ku bimaze gusobanurwa haruguru ndetse no ku byagaragajwe mu gika cya 17 (2), Urukiko rurasanga iyo ingingo z’Itegeko ziregerwa ziri mu rwego rw’ingingo zireba buri wese nk’uko bimeze ku ngingo ya 10, agace ka 3, a, b na c ndetse n’agace ka 5, aka 7 n’aka 8, y’Itegeko N^o 12/2017 ryo ku wa 07/04/2017 rishyiraho Urwego rw’Igihugu rushizwe Ubugenzacyaha rikanagena inshingano, ububasha, imitunganyirize n’imikorere byarwo; n’ingingo ya 38, iya 55, iya 56, iya 57, iya 60, iya 61 n’iya 70 z’Itegeko N^o 027/2019 ryo ku wa 19/09/2019 ryerekeye imiburanishirize y’imanza z’inshinjabyaha, icyo gihe bihesha uwaziregeye nk’umwe mubo zireba inyungu zo gutanga ikirego atabanje gutegereza ko we ku giti cye zimugiraho ingaruka.

[20]           Urukiko rurasanga rero Murangwa Edward, nk’umwe mu barebwa n’ingingo z’Itegeko rishyiraho Urwego rw’Igihugu rushinzwe Ubugenzacyaha rikanagena inshingano, ububasha, imitunganyirize n’imikorere byarwo ndetse n’iz’Itegeko ryerekeye imiburanishirize y’imanza z’inshinjabyaha, afite inyungu zo gusaba kwemeza ko zimwe mu ngingo z’ayo mategeko zinyuranyije n’Itegeko Nshinga.
