The Government of the Republic of Kenya and the Government of the Republic of Rwanda
desiring to provide for more effective cooperation between the two States in the suppression of crime, and, for that purpose, to conclude a treaty for the extradition of offenders;
Have agreed as follows:
Article 1 Obligation to Extradite
The Parties agree to extradite to each other, pursuant to the provisions of this Treaty, persons sought by the authorities in the Requesting State for trial or punishment for extraditable offenses.
Article 2 Extraditable Offenses
An extraditable offence shall be any offence provided for in schedule A or schedule B annexed to this treaty, both schedules having equal force.
Article 3 Extradition of Nationals
Extradition shall not be granted, if the person whose extradition is requested is a national of the requested State. Where extradition is refused on this ground, the requested State shall, if the other State so requests, submit the case to its competent authorities with a view to taking appropriate action against the person in respect of the offence for which extradition had been requested; Information and exhibits relating to the offence shall be transmitted, without charge through the diplomatic channel or by such other means as shall be agreed by the two States.
