About this statute

This article creates the SGF special guarantee fund for accidents and damages caused by motor vehicles and animals, gives it legal personality and administrative and financial autonomy, and says it must be managed under the general rules for public institutions. This article defines key terms used in the law, including “accident,” “animal,” and “victim.” SGF’s head office must be in Kigali City, and it may be moved elsewhere in Rwanda if necessary. SGF must compensate certain accident victims, help cover medical expenses, collect insurance data, and support accident prevention and victim assistance. This article gives SGF several powers to control insurers, recover payments, auction vehicles or wrecks, and take court action to recover unpaid amounts.
