On November 7th 2012, a group of Burundians visited Rulindo district to learn from the leaders how to develop the country in all sectors.

Burundians are carrying out various study tours to Rwanda because the country is ahead of them as far as development is concerned.

Papiar Ruhotora, who led the group said: “We are brothers and we hope that you will share with us the measures used to develop Rwanda. We have come to learn from you on how you extended good governance to the residents.”

There are many challenges in Burundi that block residents from accessing power and good governance.

Government programs are centralized and Burundi residents have no say in decision making, Ruhorotora elaborated.

Mayor of Rulindo district, Justus Kangwagye promised Burundians that they will help them in whatever they need to develop Burundi plus unfailing advice.

“We are pleased to see u come to learn from Rulindo local leaders, we are ready to share with you on what we have achieved so that you develop your country,” narrates Mayor Kangwagye.

He adds that hosting Burundi leaders portrays they are working hard, which should be an example to other districts.

The visitors were explained on decentralization, good governance and tender processes in Rwanda.

This happens after Burundi parliamentarians recently visited Rulindo district while on their tour in Rwanda.

The vision of Kigali City as a bustling metropolis might still be in the distant future, but the first steps towards its realization have been taken.

Kigali City Council, in collaboration with consulting firm Surbana International Consultants of Singapore are this Friday set to hold an update on the final draft for the much anticipated City Master Plan.

The presentation will focus on Kicukiro and Gasabo Districts as the map for the entire city as a whole is yet to be completed. The designers opted instead for a District-by-District conceptualization.

Speaking to reporters in the run-up to the presentation yesterday, the Director of the Kigali Construction and Urban planning One Stop Centre, Liliane Mupende revealed that a “comprehensive and detailed City Master Plan was just around the corner.

“We are now in the final stages of the project and in January we’ll be able to provide our citizens with a comprehensive and detailed Master Plan” she said.

Designers and consultants alike have been toiling for the past 10 months designing the City Plan, which sources say will designate Nyarugenge as “The Financial Hub”, Gasabo the “Administrative Centre” and Kicukiro the “Knowledge Hub” among many promising and exciting features of a new and improved capital city.

NYAGATARE: Hillside Day and Boarding Primary School in Matimba Sector, Nyagatare District, on Friday handed over certificates of merit to 179 Nursery Three and Primary six pupils in a colorful graduation ceremony.

The ceremony, attended by school pupils, management and parents was hugely characterized by enthusiastic parade done by pupils, traditional dances as well as poems that excited the audience.

Addressing the parents, the school principal and founder, Col.(Rtd) Thadeo Gashumba said that this year’s graduation of pupils was organized purposely to award them certificates of merit that give them outstanding recognition for completion of Nursery and Primary school.

He said that the certificates facilitate both children in case they want to go to another school.

“This graduation ceremony reflects the real values and norms of Hillside school. It is also a policy that we have initiated to facilitate our children and their parents in case they go to other schools,” he said.

He thanked the school management and parents for their exceptional efforts put in promoting education in the district and country as whole.

“Without parents’ participation and efforts, Hillside wouldn’t have reached this far. I want to openly thank you for your efforts and determination to endure that education in the country is maintained.”

He promised parents to start up a secondary school next year but largely called on the government to facilitate the school management to acquire enough land for construction of classrooms.

“We shall start with senior one up to senior three due to limited land for classrooms construction. But hopefully the government will facilitate us to get more land for extension.”

Shilla Munezero, a 12-year-old who graduated from primary school was excited to be honoured with a certificate of primary school completion.

“Today was an extra-ordinary one for me. The school management has surprised us especially with graduation ceremony. Not all pupils have chances to complete primary with certificates meaning that the one I have been given here is a motivation to work hard and excel in education,” she said.

Abayobozi hamwe n’abanyamuryango ba FPR bakaba bavuga ko hari byinshi biteguye kugeraho, bafatanije n’ubuyobozi bw’umuryango FPR.

Such explosives are dangerous to metal collectors

The scrap metal business in the region has increased since 1995 and it has attracted investors both locally and internationally.

With the coming of steel industries in Rwanda like STEELRWA, the scrap business has somehow boomed, and has become an income generating activity to some people who have engaged in collecting the raw materials.

Scraps are recyclable materials left over from product consumption, such as parts of vehicles, building supplies and surplus materials, which have significant monetary value.
Most of the people involved in collecting these recyclable metals are the youth and women.

Following the liberation struggle of between 1990 and 1994 and the period of insurgencies in some parts of the country in 1997, left many Unexploded Ordnance (UXOs) such as bombs, bullets, shells, grenades and land mines, which are scattered in bushes while others are buried, and still pose a risk of detonation.

These UXOs have also been mistakenly collected as valuable metals.

Some people, including those collecting scraps, have fallen victims of these dangerous weapons. Some people, especially the youth involved in collecting these recyclable metals, are blinded by the love for money which is determined by the quantity of metals collected, and forget to examine the type of tools collected.

This has left some people incapacitated while others have lost their lives. Children also play with such weapons unknowingly, which explode and injure or worse still kill them.

According to police on November 3 a 7-year old Janvier Nkurunziza was killed by a grenade explosion in Nyamagana Cell in Ruhango Sector, Ruhango District. Nkurunziza was at the time playing with the grenade unknowingly.

A 12-year old Maldoche Dusingizimana also died in similar circumstances also in Ruhango District.

The grenade had been picked by her elder brother, Athanase Kubwimana, who thought it was a valuable metal, and brought it home.

Police calls upon those with the knowledge of the whereabouts of such weapons. “It is imperative to surrender or report them to save lives, especially those of the children.”

Article 671 of the penal code stipulates that ‘any person who illegally possesses, lends or gives an arm, or falsifies its identification marks, is liable to a term of imprisonment of six months to one year and a fine of Rwf300, 000 to Rwf3 million or one of these penalties.

However, under article 673, “any person who illegally carries, fires or uses an arm in a residential area or its neighborhood, shall be liable to a term of imprisonment of six months to two years and a fine of Rwf300, 000 to Rwf3 million or one of these penalties.

Supt Gashagaza Hubert umuvugizi wa polisi mu Ntara y’Amajyepfo avuga ko ikibazo cy’ibiyobyabwenge kigiye guhagurukirwa

Asaba inzego z’ibanze guhagurukira icyi kibazo, mu rwego rwo guharanira guteza imbere umuryango nyarwanda.

Over 390 local leaders attended a hotel conference at Kibeho in Nyaruguru district, Southern Rwanda, as Southern Province Governor, Alphonse Munyantwali, on Friday made a one-day work visit to the district to assess the current pace towards achieving the 2012-2013 performance contracts.

The local leaders ranged from heads of umudugudu (literally village) – Rwanda’s smallest administrative unit – to executive secretaries of cells and sectors plus officials at the district level.

“Competence and commitment are key to achieving your performance contracts”, Governor Munyantwali told a keen, interactive audience of local leaders.

One of the local leaders in attendance is Peter Iyakaremye, head of Agatare village in Ngarurira cell of Munini sector, Nyaruguru district.

“This meeting is a testimony that the top leadership of our province cares for all the leaders even those like me at the very lowest administrative level. That gives me motivation and I feel more and more part of the team”, said Iyakaremye, speaking at the sidelines of the meeting.

Areas of Nyaruguru district’s performance contracts include agriculture, roads construction, trade, job creation especially among the youth, assisting vulnerable groups, electricity, clean water supply, grouped habitat and good governance.

According to Nyaruguru district’s Mayor, François Habitegeko, the district has already met some of its targets in agriculture where thousands of hectares of maize, Irish potatoes, beans, cassava and wheat are being grown.

83 per cent of Nyaruguru district’s estimated 286,000  population now live in a grouped habitat, according to Mayor Habitegeko, which the district hopes will help bring success in other areas like electricity and clean water supply.

And nearly eight months to the deadline of the 2012-2013 performance contracts, Governor Munyantwali sounds upbeat with regard to Nyaruguru district.

“It [the current state of performance contracts] gives me a good impression. Almost all the performance contracts are on [the right] track”, said Governor Munyantwali.

The Governor further promised to help the district overcome what seems to be its biggest challenge for the moment: a plot of land upon which to build a cross-border trade complex.

Last fall, in the 2011-2012 performance contracts’ results, Nyaruguru came in the 26^th position out of Rwanda’s 30 districts, scoring an average mark of slightly over 80 per cent. This was a relatively better stance than in the year before, 2010-2011, when the district ranked 29^th countrywide with an average point of 75 per cent.

In the same 2011-2012 year of performance contracts, the Southern Province is reported to have emerged the first of Rwanda’s four provinces plus Kigali City. And with the Governor’s Friday visit to Nyaruguru district, which ranked the last of the southern province’s eight districts in the 2011-2012 performance contracts’ results, it seems the province is interested in assisting even the apparently less performing districts to help maintain its grip on the first place even this year around.

Rwanda’s President Paul Kagame initiated the performance contracts in 2006, as a way of swifting the country’s development through acknowledging and rewarding best performing leaders, among others.

Britain’s international development secretary Justine Greening said Tuesday that the decision on the future of aid to Rwanda will be taken based on many other benchmarks, and not only UN reports alleging Rwanda’s backing for Congolese rebels.

Appearing before a parliamentary inquiry, Greening said “all options were on the table”. She said the UK’s support for Rwanda had been “very successful”.

“We are confident that our money is getting to the right people in Rwanda, not as it often happens elsewhere…Rwanda has been successful at tackling very serious development issues,” said the minister.

Several countries have cut back on their development support packages for Rwanda after leaked UN reports linked Rwanda’s government to M23 rebels in eastern DRC. The UK did hold back on releasing its quarterly package, but then later did, prompting a barrage of criticism.

Former international development secretary Andrew Mitchell appeared before the UK parliamentary committee last week and laid out a spirited defense of his decision. Mitchell said his government had set out three conditions for Rwanda over the DRC conflict, which had been significantly met.

“I am not going to disagree with Andrew Mitchell. I think it is very difficult for me to agree or disagree with him,” said Greening.

“DRC-led solution” is preferable

Under grueling questioning, Justine Greening dismissed the leaked UN documents, saying that technically a UN report linking Rwanda to conflict in east DRC “doesn’t exist” because no official report is out yet. She said several meetings are ongoing in the UN sanctions committee to ascertain the allegations against Rwanda.

Following the leaked documents, Rwanda submitted a rebuttal of each of the aspects supposedly raised by the UN experts. There is no indication as to when the final UN investigation will be released.

Greening said as a result of engagement from regional governments including Rwanda and Uganda, fighting had reduced in eastern DRC. However, the UK minister said that  “ultimately a DRC-led solution” was the preferred options where by the Kinshasa government works out a political settlement with the rebels.

Asked whether the UK government will consult with other donor countries when determining future aid for Rwanda, the minister said Britain’s decision would not be influenced by others.

Sir Malcolm Bruce, the chair of the international development committee which is conducting the inquiry announced they would decide next week whether to release the inquiry report before the government decides on the December tranche, or after.

Project Umubano “extremely worthwhile”

In comments extending full support to Rwanda’s government, Sir Malcolm Bruce said it was doing a “fantastic job” on poverty. The committee asked minister Justine Greening to submit a “written note” detailing the successes of Rwanda’s anti-poverty programs funded by British tax payers. The note will be added onto the final report.

“The committee has seen excellent poverty reduction programs and a remarkable land registration system,” said Sir Malcolm Bruce, as he concluded the hearing.

“Rwanda does a good fantastic job with the money and I don’t think anybody should dispute that.”

The conservative party, UK’s governing coalition partner headed by Prime Minister David Cameron has had a massive rural development program in Rwanda for more than five years, and has been looking at ways of expanding to other countries. The scheme is named “Project Umubano”, which has built schools, brought English teachers and extended services to rural communities.

Mr Cameron himself was in Rwanda before becoming Prime Minister, and every year, dozens of conservative party lawmakers come to Rwanda during holidays to take part in the project.

Commenting about “Project Umubano”, minister Greening told the committee today that she had been to Rwanda with the project in 2008 and found it “extremely worthwhile”.

Gisagara district administration has asked all leadership levels to allow residents express their views for the successful implementation of the performance contracts.

This was resolved during the preparation and evaluation of 2012-2013 performance contracts in Gisagara district.

“To have performance contracts implemented 100 percent, is to have residents embrace it,” asserts Leandre Karekezi; mayor of Gisagara district.

On the other hand, residents are encouraged to take part in performance contract activities by sharing their ideas instead of waiting on their leaders to decide on their behalf.

This is directed at attracting residents into embracing all government development programs that are meant for all Rwandans.

The mayor of Gisagara district affirms that performance contracts are executed 100 percent only when residents become part of the program.

He adds that when residents are given opportunity to work for themselves, they put their mind to it and produce the best.

“All we need is our performance contracts to be executed 100 percent, and it could only be achieved with the residents participation,” the Mayor explains.

Gisagara district became the eighth in 2011-2012 performance contracts and hopes to get a better position this year 2012-2013.
