Forty two Village leaders selected from 14 sectors in Huye District have been rewarded during good governance week for being exemplary among other village leaders.
This came after comparing their services with that of agriculture sensitizers and youth in national service in all sectors that make Huye district.
Exemplary village leaders were given bicycles to facilitate their work and help them in their personal life.
Anysie Gahongayire from Ruhashya sector says the bicycle is worth the work I have done since 1995.
She explains “I am in charge of fighting gender based violence, family conflicts, I love children, sensitize residents on banana planting and maize growing, making kitchen gardens. I am a peasant and exemplary in my village.”
“What is good about the gift is that my fellow leaders will be motivated to work hard after they see my prize bicycle,” highlights Anysie.
Theoneste Kamizikunze, Agateme village leader in Tumba sector asserts that in his village, residents made a general kitchen garden, planted 13 fruit trees at Intashyikirwa Street.
Theoneste denotes “Whenever the government gives you a gift for hardworking, even if it’s a certificate, it makes you feel the value of appreciation.”
Though we haven’t covered medical insurance 100 percent, we managed to get the coverage at 90 percent in the first three months and first in our sector, Kamizikunze adds.
In addition, my village is an example of parents evening implementation because evening talks were mingled with credit scheme groups.
