Monitoring and Documenting acts of Corruption and Poor Governance
King Umurundi Freedom rigorously monitors, investigates, and documents acts of corruption and poor governance that undermine justice, equality, and public trust in Burundi. We consider corruption not only a financial crime—it is also a violation of human rights , as it deprives citizens of access to healthcare, education, and essential public services.
Our monitoring work relies on rigorous data collection, whistleblower protection, and fact-checking . We receive and analyze reports from citizens, public officials, journalists, and community observers who witness irregularities in the management of public resources. Through interviews, document reviews, and field investigations, we verify information before publishing our findings in transparent, evidence-based reports .
We focus particularly on practices of embezzlement, abuse of public office, favoritism, irregular procurement, and misuse of development funds . Each case is analyzed from the perspective of its human impact—how corruption undermines public services, exacerbates inequalities, and restricts civil liberties. By linking governance failures to human rights consequences, our work reinforces the principle that accountability is essential for dignity and development .
Our findings are shared with anti-corruption bodies, oversight institutions, parliamentarians, the judiciary, and the public to encourage institutional and policy reforms. We also collaborate with international partners and observatories to ensure that local cases receive global visibility and support.
King Umurundi Freedom advocates for transparency, open data, citizen participation, and ethical leadership as the foundation of good governance. Through continuous monitoring and documentation, we aim for a society where public institutions serve the common good—not personal or partisan interests.
