Abategetsi n’abahoze ari bo bagera kuri 35 hamwe n’abakozi ba leta barenga 300 bari muri izi nyandiko bahimbye Pandora Papers zivuga ku gukoresha kompanyi zo mu mahanga.

Perezida Ali Bongo wa Gabon, Perezida Uhuru Kenyatta wa Kenya na Denis Sassou-Nguesso wa Congo Brazzaville nibo bakuru b’ibihugu bya Africa bari mu mirimo bavuzwe muri izi mpapuro.

Zerekana kandi uko uwahoze ari minisitiri w’intebe w’Ubwongereza Tony Blair n’umugore we bizigamiye £312,000 bagura inzu i London bakoresheje kompanyi yo mu mahanga yanditswe kuri iyo nyubako.

Izi nyandiko zavuye muri kompanyi 14 zitanga zserivisi z’imari mu bihugu birimo British Virgin Islands, Panama, Belize, Cyprus, United Arab Emirates, Singapore n’Ubusuwisi.

Byinshi biri mu bucuruzi bwabo byerekanwa n’izo nyandiko ntabwo bigize ibyaha.

Ariko Fergus Shiel wo muri ICIJ agira ati: “Nta kibazo kirimo kugeza aha gusa byerekana ukuri k’uburyo kompanyi zo mu mahanga zifasha abantu guhisha imari idasobanutse cyangwa guhunga imisoro.”

Yongeraho ati: “Bakoresha izo konti zo hanze, ibyo bigo byo hanze, mu kugura imitungo ya miliyoni amagana mu bindi bihugu, mu gukungahaza imiryango yabo, birengangije abaturage babo.”

Mama Ngina w’imyaka 88 niwe ufite ijambo rya mbere muri iki kigo kandi inyandiko zerekana ko umuhungu we Uhuru Kenyatta ari we umukurikira kandi uzaragwa iyo mari ku rupfu rwa nyina.

Agaciro nyako n’umutungo wose by’icyo kigo cyabo ntabwo bizwi neza.

Pandora Papers zivuga ko Perezida Ali Bongo n’abanyapolitiki babiri bo muri Gabon bagenzuraga kompanyi yo muri British Virgin Islands yakoraga ubucuruzi mpuzamahanga butandukanye.

Izi nyandiko zigaragazamo umugore we Sylvia Bongo Ondimba nk’umwe mu bari muri ubwo bucuruzi bwinjije imari itazwi neza ingano kuri uyu muryango.

Iyo kompanyi yashinzwe muri British Virgin Islands mu 1998 ubwo Nguesso yari kuri manda ye ya kabiri nka perezida.

Jim Muhwezi, minisitiri w’umutekano wa Uganda, akaba n’umugabo wa mubyara wa Janet Museveni – umugore wa Perezida Yoweri Museveni – nawe avugwa muri Pandora Papers.

Abategetsi babajijwe kuri iyo mitungo n’ubucuruzi mu mahanga benshi banze kugira icyo babivugaho.

Umunyamakuru wa ICIJ abajije Jim Muhwezi kugira icyo avuga ku bigaragazwa na Pandora Papers yagize ati: “Ibyo uriho uvuga simbizi rero ntacyo angusubiza.”
