A researcher who fails to take out insurance coverage for a research participant while he or she has been required by the RNEC to do so or where such an arrangement is stated in the research protocol commits a fault.
He or she is liable to an amount equivalent to the amount of the insurance premium he or she was required to pay plus an administrative fine of not less than one million Rwanda francs (FRW 1,000,000) but not more than two million Rwanda francs (FRW 2,000,000).
