Me SEBERA NYUNGA Antoine was elected to rule the PBA for the next term, as he replaces his predecessor Me HABIMANA Védaste who ruled the PBA for 2 previous terms of 3 years each, since he was elected for the first time in 2013.

Me HABIAMANA Védaste took the moment of thanking the executive committee which helped him to fulfill his responsibilities along those mandates and he highlighted the crucial role of the executive Secretariat in the development of the PBA, hence he highly recognized the zeal of the executive secretary   Mr BALINDA Anastase.

Me HABIMANA said that he is proud of many achievements among which the development in terms of knowledge and enhancement of laws valuing the career of courts bailiffs and the fact that the new coming Professional Diploma in Bailiffs Practice will be the speciality of Rwandan Bailiffs who will be the first in Africa to have such a program.

Despite all the achievements, Me Védaste turned around the inappropriate headquarters of the PBA, while he said that it no longer fit with the current level of the PBA but he continued saying that he is leaving the PBA with the ability to shift to its own building and not in a distant future.

The incoming president Me SEBERA NYUNGA Antoine has warmly thanked his predecessor for the courage of raising the PBA from the critical situation of lack of means and the bad atmosphere in which bailiffs worked, and he emphasized that he will only lead the PBA into the next brighter era.

President Me Nyunga, promised all members of the PBA to promote the good image of the PBA through fighting against the downgrade  of properties to b auctioned by some bailiffs, as well as other misbehavior judged by the general public.  He also urges all Professional Bailiffs to never take decisions following their sentiments but to only apply what is stated by the law.
