‘Indigent’ Bandora eyes state coffers

Charles Bandora might be the next genocide suspect to benefit from the government’s legal aid following his claim of indigence on the first day of his trial in merits recently.

The suspect, who was extradited from Norway in March following his arrest in 2010, told the special chamber of the High Court trying extradited cases and those sent to Rwanda by the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) that he was running out of resources to pay his two lawyers.
