Twizihize Isabukuru y’ubwigenge duharanira kwitorera abayobozi batunyuze mu 2017

TWIZIHIZE ISABUKURU Y’UBWIGENGE BW’ U RWANDA DUHARANIRA KWITORERA ABAYOBOZI BATUNYUZE MU 2017.

1.Birakwiye kandi biratunganye kwizihizanya ishema ryinshi isabukuru y’Ubwigenge bw’U Rwanda ku ncuro ya 54. Buri munyarwanda wese, aho ari hose ,akwiye rwose kwerekeza umutima ku mateka y’igihugu cye, akibuka uko cyavuye mu maboko y’Umukoloni, kigahabwa ijambo mu ruhando rw’amahanga, akibukana icyubahiro kandi akishimira Abalideri bitanze ngo ubwigenge bw’u Rwanda bugerweho barimo Nyaguhorayibukwa Gregoire KAYIBANDA na bagenzi be.

2.Ukwigenga k’u Rwanda si amateka akwiye gucamo Abanyarwanda ibice. Utazi aho yavuye ntamenya aho ageze n’aho yerekera. Uwiha guhinyura ubwigenge bw’u Rwanda cyangwa kubunenga ari mu ruhande rw’ikinyoma. Ukutigenga k’u Rwanda nta wundi kwari gufitiye inyungu uretse Umukoloni na gashakabuhake.

Ku isabukuru nziza nk’iyi birakwiye kwibukiranya ibihe by’ingenzi cyane by’amateka yacu tutagomba kwibagirwa.

3.Nyuma y’Italiki ya mbere Nyakanga 1962, abategetsi ba Repubulika ya mbere n’iyakabiri bakoze uko bashoboye bubaka ibikorwa byinshi by’iterambere ryafashije abaturage mu buryo bwinshi: amashuri,amavuriro, imihanda, amazi meza, amashanyarazi, amasoko, ibibuga by’indege, amazu y’ubuyobozi, n’ibindi. Kubihakana ni ukwirengagiza nkana amateka y’u Rwanda.

4.Kuva ku munsi w’ubwigenge kugera mu 1990, abayobozi b’igihugu cyacu bakoze n’amakosa atari make kandi akomeye yaje kugira ingaruka zikomeye mu gusenya ibyiza bari bararushye bubaka. By’umwihariko ntibashoboye gukumira no guhashya burundu amacakubiri ashingiye ku irondakoko n’irondakarere yabangamiye cyane ukwishyira n’ukwizana kwa bamwe mu benegihugu. Kubyirengagiza byasa no guhingira ku rwiri.

5.Naho guhera taliki ya 1/10/1990 igihugu cyinjiye mu ntambara y’amasasu isenya kandi ikica yatangijwe ku mugaragaro n’Ishyaka FPR-INKOTANYI. Guhera uwo munsi ntitwahwemye kwicirwa abacu no gusenyerwa ibyiza by’iterambere. Jenoside, itsembatsemba. ….byatutumazeho abantu hasigara « imfungwa, imfubyi n’amatongo « !

6.Nyuma ya Nyakanga 1994 , FPR yifatiye ubutegetsi bwose, iyoboresha igitugu n’iterabwoba rikaze, yibagiza Abanyarwanda igisobanuro cy’ubwigenge baronse taliki ya 1 Nyakanga 1962 n’ukwisanzura kwa buri munyarwanda kwari ngombwa.

7.Hari ibikorwa by’iterambere bitari bike FPR yubatse muri iyi myaka 21 imaze ku butegetsi. Kutabyemera ni ukwigiza nkana cyangwa kwitiranya ibibazo.Ikibazo nyamukuru si ibikorwa byiza biriho kandi bigaragara, ikibazo ni ukumenya neza uwo bifitiye akamaro, no kumenya niba bizaramba!

8.Kuri iyi Sabukuru ngarukamwaka y’ubwigenge bw’u Rwanda, biragaragara kandi ko ikibazo cy’amacakubiri ashingiye ku irondakoko n’irondakarere ntaho cyagiye. Leta ya FPR-INKOTANYI ntiyashoboye kuyakumira no kuyarandura burundu. AHUBWO ndetse bigaragarira bose ko Ubutegetsi bw’igitugu bwa FPR bwakomeje kuyacirira, kuyahembera no kuyongerera ubukana. Ibyemezo byinshi bifatwa n’ubutegetsi bikitwa « Gahunda za Leta » nibyo bishyidika icyo kibazo.

9.Ishyaka ISHEMA ry’u Rwanda rirahamagarira Abanyarwanda cyane cyane urubyiruko kutibagirwa ko ubwigenge bw’igihugu(Independence) n’ « Ukwishyira ukizana kwa buri mwenegihugu (Freedom) arizo ndangagaciro zisumba izindi zituma abaturage bashobora kubana mu gihugu kimwe, bareshya kandi batekanye. Bityo rero ubutegetsi bwose bwimika ubusumbane, ivangura n’iterabwoba bukaba budashobora kugeza igihugu ku iterambere rirambye kandi risangiwe.

10.Aho niho Ishyaka ISHEMA ry’u Rwanda rihera ryemeza ko igihugu cyacu gikeneye Abalideri bashya( Nouvelle Génération) , batagize uruhare mu byaha bikomeye byasenye u Rwanda, cyane cyane ibyaha byo kumena amaraso no gusahura umutungo w’igihugu.

11.Turasaba Abanyarwanda bose kwizihiza Isabukuru y’ubwigenge baharanira mu buryo bwose bushoboka KUZITABIRA amatora ateganyijwe mu 2017 na 2018, bityo bakazitorera Umukuru w’igihugu ndetse n’Intumwa za rubanda zitaboshywe n’imyumvire ishaje yo gutegekesha iterabwoba, ikinyoma no gukubira ibyiza byose by’igihugu mu maboko y’Udutsiko duheeza abandi benegihugu, bagahindurwa Abagereerwa n’Inkomamashyi mu gihugu cyabo. Rubanda igomba kandi kwitegura bihagije kuzarengera amajwi yatanze mu gihe hagira ubagaruraho ka kageso ka « TORA AHA » cyangwa ako kwiba amajwi.

12. Niyo mpamvu twafashe icyemezo cyo gufata inzira tugatahuka mu Rwatubyaye bitarenze ukwezi k’Ugushyingo (11) 2016 kugira ngo dufatanye n’Abanyarwanda bari mu gihugu muri iyo gahunda nziza yo » Kwunga abenegihugu kugira ngo dufatanye kwiyubakira U Rwanda-Moderne « (TOGETHER TO MODERNIZE RWANDA).

13. Turarikiye Abanyarwanda batuye mu gihugu cy’Ububiligi kuzitabira Igiterane kidasanzwe cyo kubasezeraho tuzakora ku cyumweru taliki ya 31 Nyakanga 2016. Icyo giterane kizabera mu mujyi wa Buruseli, icyumba tuzahuriramo muzakimenyeshwa bidatinze.

14. Twifurije umunsi mwiza umunyarwanda wese, ari uri mu gihugu cyangwa hanze hacyo, ari ufashwe neza n’ubutegetsi buriho cyangwa uwo bwagize nyagupfa, …iyi sabukuru y’ubwigenge ibabere UMUNSI W’AMIZERO : Dore impinduka ngiyi yaje kandi nta kigishoboye kuyisubiza inyuma.

Uwemera nahaguruke aze dufatanye urugendo.

Harakabaho u Rwanda rwigenga
Harahakabaho Abanyarwanda batewe ishema no guharanira ukwishyira ukizaza kwa buri mwenegihugu.

Dr Visenti Biruta, umukuru wa PSD arasabwa kwihanangiriza Visi Perezida w’ishyaka ryabo.

Nyuma yo kwitegereza neza imikorere ishaje ishingiye kuri politiki yo gucura amatiku, kugambana, gusebanya no kwiyoberanya y’ishyaka PSD nk’uko bigaragazwa n’ibikorwa bya Visi Perezida waryo, Bwana Olivier NDUHUNGIREHE, Komite Nyobozi y’Ishyaka ISHEMA ry’u Rwanda yifuje gutangariza rubanda ibi bikurikira:

1.Abanyarwanda benshi bashobora kwibuka uko Ishyaka ISHEMA ry’u Rwanda ryatangiye taliki ya 28 Mutarama 2013, n’Indangacaciro zihanitse ryahisemo kubakiraho.

2.Ntawe uribagirwa ko kuva mu ntangiriro, Ishyaka ISHEMA ry’ u Rwanda ryerekanye ubushake bwo guca ukubiri na «politiki ishaje» ubwo ryemezaga ku mugaragaro ko ridakeneye kubakira inzego z’ubuyobozi bwaryo ku bantu bafite «ibiganza bijejeta amaraso».

3.Muri urwo rwego, abayobozi bose b’Ishyaka ISHEMA, guhera ku Makipe kugera kuri Komite Nyobozi, batoranyijwe hashingiwe ku kuba bafite «ibiganza byera» ku bibazo by’ingenzi byasenye igihugu cyacu cyane cyane jenoside yakorewe Abatutsi n’ubundi bwicanyi bwarimbuye abenegihugu batagira ingano.

4.Ibwiriza risobanutse kandi rizwi neza n’abayobozi bose b’ISHEMA ry’u Rwanda ni uko uwagaragarwaho n’icyaha cyo kugira uruhare muri jenoside yakorewe Abatutsi cyangwa mu bwicanyi ubwo aribwo bwose agomba «kwamburwa inshingano». Nguwo umwihariko w’ Ishyaka ry’Abataripfana.

5.Bityo rero, turamagana imikorere mibisha n’imyitwarire ya gicancuro y’umugabo witwa NDUHUNGIREHE Olivier, Visi Perezida wa PSD, udatinya gukoresha umuyoboke w’ Ishyaka rya PSD, Bwana HABIMANA Come wahinduye izina akiyita Benoit UWIMANA wigeze gutoranyirizwa kuyobora ikipe imwe y’Ishyaka ISHEMA i Buruseli. Bwana NDUHUNGIREHE ari muri gahunda yo gushuka rubanda mu kwerekana ko bwana HABIMANA Come ari umuntu w’intangarugero n’umuvugizi w’ishyaka ISHEMA atabanje kwiga ngo asobanukirwe imvo n’imvano yo kuba uwo muntu yarakuwe mu nzego z’ubuyobozi bw’ Ishyaka.

6.Koko rero Ishyaka PSD rishobora kwinjiza mu nzego zaryo abo rishatse bose rititaye ku bweramutima bwabo ariko nirimenye ko nta shyaka rikorera mu rindi. Nta jambo na rito abayobozi ba PSD bafite ku Ishyaka ISHEMA ry’u Rwanda, kereka niba umurongo mushya wa politiki bihaye ari « uguharabika» Ishyaka ry’Abataripfana.

7.Muri urwo rwego, turasanga ibikorwa Bwana NDUHUNGIREHE Olivier, Visi Perezida wa PSD, ahugiyemo byo « kwitwikira Ambasade y’u Rwanda iri i Buruseli », agacura kandi agakwirakwiza, mu bitangazamakuru no ku mbuga nkoranyambaga amavidewo «atekinitse» yuzuye ibinyoma bigamije kudusebya no kutugambanira, bikwiye gufatwa nk’ibikorwa by’ubushotoranyi n’igitero tugabweho n’Ishyaka PSD.

8.Turasaba Perezida wa PSD, Bwana Vincent BIRUTA, gutanga ibisobanuro bikwiye, Abanyarwanda bakamenya neza niba koko amatiku NDUHUNGIREHE ahugiyemo ari ubutumwa yahawe n’Ishyaka rya PSD.

9.Twongeye kandi kwizeza Abanyarwanda ko Ubushotoranyi bwa Nduhungirehe n’Ishyaka PSD bitazaturangaza cyangwa ngo bitubuze gusohoza inshingano twihaye yo gusanga Abanyarwanda bari mu gihugu ngo dufatanye kwimakaza politiki nshya yubakiye ku ndagagaciro z’UKURI, UBUTWARI N’UGUSARANGANYA ibyiza by’igihugu.

Hakwiye iperereza ku mitungo ya Paul Kagame

Perezida wa Repubulika y’u Rwanda, Paul Kagame, mu mpera z’icyumweru gishize tariki ya 28/052016 yagiye mu gihugu cy’u Butaliyani mu mujyi wa Milan, ngo ajyanywe no kureba umupira w’amaguru.

Ibinyamakuru byinshi byagarutse kuri iyi nkuru ndetse bimwe ugasanga bigaya uru rugendo. Nyamara ariko ibi binyamakuru birasa n’ibishakira ikibazo aho kitari, bitavuze ko ikibazo kidahari! Ubwabyo kuba umuntu yafata akanya ko kwishimisha si ikibazo.

Ahubwo ikibazo ni iki:

Kagame amafaranga afite ayabona mu buryo bufututse?
Ese ajya akorerwa igenzura nk’umukuru w’igihugu ngo ibyerekeranye n’umutungo we bijye ahabona?
Iryo genzura ryerekana iki?
Ese ingendo nk’izi zo kujya kwishimisha zishyurwa na nde?
Aramutse ari amafranga ye, yabonye mu buryo bufututse nta mpungenge byatera.

Ni ngombwa ko Paul Kagame atanga ibisubizo kuri ibi bibazo kugira ngo abaturage babone koko ko umukuru wabo atari umunyamurengwe wokamwe n’ingeso yo gukorakora agasabikwa no gusesagura umutungo w’igihugu.

Iyo umukuru w’igihugu adatanga urubuga rw’ubwisanzure ngo inzego zibishinzwe zimukorere Igenzura, zimenye umutungo we n’uburyo ucungwamo, haba hari impungenge ko ashobora gukoresha umwanya afite agasesagura umutungo w’igihugu akenshi uba waturutse mu misoro cyangwa mu nguzanyo igihugu cyafashe zikazishyurwa na buri mwenegihugu. Nko mu minsi ishize byagaragaye ko isanduku ya keta yabuzemo amafranga arenga miliyoni 200 n’imisago, nyamara nta perereza ryakozwe ngo ababikoze babiryozwe. Ni iki cyemeza ko Kagame atakoze muri aya?

Hari inyandiko nyinshi zagiye zigaragazwa n’abamwegereye zigaragaza uburyo uyu mugabo Paul Kagame yaba yigwizaho imitungo kandi akayisesagura mu gihe umuturage usanzwe atabasha kubona ibyo kurya bimuhagije, igihe abakozi badahembwa,igihe abanyeshuri badahabwa inguzanyo ngo babashe kwiga, igihe igihugu gikomeje gutega amaboko inkunga z’amahanga ngo kibashe guhuza icyuho mu ngengo y’imari.

Igitangaje ni uko ingendo z’uyu mukuru w’igihugu ziba zihenze cyane kuko agenda mu ndege ya wenyine (private jet) yishyurwa akayabo, aho ihagarikwa mu gihe imutegereje naho hakishyurirwa, hoteli araramo ikaba ihenze cyane( hagati y’ibihumbi 15 na 20 by’amadolari ku ijoro rimwe),…Ikindi kandi iyi ndege imutwara yanditse ku izina rye, ni ukuvuga ko Leta iyikodesha amafranga akajya kuri compte ye!

Ibi byose iyo byikusanyije niho usanga urugendo rwose akoze rukurura impaka. Hiyongeraho ko muri raporo zimaze iminsi zisohoka zerekana ibigo by’imari bya Paul Kagame bifite amafaranga menshi abitse hanze y’igihugu mu buryo budasobanutse. Kagame ntiyigeze agira icyo abivugaho wenda akibwira ko bizacira aho!?

Umuti:

Ntawe umubujije kwishimisha kuko ni ngombwa mu buzima. Ariko hagomba kubaho urubuga rw’ubwisanzure mu gihugu abantu bakamubaza ibi bibazo nawe akabisubiza niba yumva ntacyo yishisha. Nareke opposition ikore mu bwisanzure izamufasha kwikosora kuko ariyo yonyine yasaba ko audit yigenga ikorwa maze iyo mitungo ye ndetse n’iy’abandi bategetsi ikagaragara ko itanyuze mu bujura n’amanyanga.

Kubera ko mu gihugu hari ubukene bwinshi, ariko bikaba bigaragara ko perezida we butamugeraho, kandi buri wese yifuza kuva mu bukene, byatuma buri wese ashaka kuba perezida wa repubulika. Ibaze abantu miliyoni 12 bose barwanira ubukire ni ukuvuga bashaka kuba ba perezida wa repubulika! Ibi bisobanura intambara mu gihugu ishobora guhanganisha abakize n’abakennye, bamwe bashaka gukomeza kwigwizaho imitungo mu gihe abandi baharanira kuyigira.

Nta majyambere arambye ashoboka mu gihe hatabayeho transparency mu micungire y’imari no mu mitegekere yigihugu.

Ubwanditsi.

Rwanda : vers une solution de l’énergie électrique?

Leave a reply

C’est à juste titre que les Rwandais et particulièrement les riverains du lac Kivu, peuvent être fiers de la centrale KivuWatt. D’abord parce que le pompage du méthane réduira le niveau du gaz (potentielle menace à la vie), et ensuite, du fait que ce produit, au départ dangereux, sera transformé en énergie électrique; une première au « pays des mille collines ». Après 14 mois, le Rwanda vient donc, d’inaugurer une nouvelle centrale. Mais, la production est-elle satisfaisante au jour d’aujourd’hui?

Au regard de la situation, on est encore trop loin du compte. Les attentes restent trop élevées, et deux questions pertinentes se posent. Pourquoi un tel retard dans un secteur aussi important? Pourquoi l’électrification n’a pas été parmi les priorités? Ces mêmes questionnements méritent également des solutions dans un autre secteur vital, très en retard, à savoir l’alimentation en eau potable et raccordement au réseau d’eau.

Restons sur le sujet en titre. Il est vrai que 54MW acquis en une année, ne sont pas négligeables. En mars 2015, c’était la centrale hydro-électrique de Nyabarongo pour produire 28MW, et le 16 mai 2016 c’était l’inauguration de la centrale au méthane sur le lac Kivu, déjà opérationnelle depuis décembre 2015 avec 26 mégawatts. Construite à l’Ouest du pays, cette centrale produit de l’énergie qui s’ajoute à la capacité de production d’environ 160MW dont disposait déjà le pays.

Quel était l’objectif 2020 en électrification?

Le gouvernement rwandais avait tablé sur 563MW d’une valeur de 2.7milliards d’ici 2019-2020. De très bonnes ambitions, mais avec quelles stratégies et capacités financières? Le pays prévoit d’importer 30MW du Kenya (sachant que la distance est de 1350kms) et 400MW de l’Ethiopie (à 2700kms du Rwanda). C’est un projet coûteux et difficile à réaliser dans 3 ans. En 2012, le ministre de l’époque, ayant en charge des infrastructures, avait même promis la production de 1000MW pour 2017!

Selon geopolitique-electricite.fr, « 700 000 Rwandais avaient accès à l’électricité en 2008, et presque un million en plus début 2013. La proportion est passée de 6 à 17% de la population de 2008 en 2014 ». Un pas a été franchi, cependant, beaucoup reste à faire. En 2016, on n’a même pas atteint ¼ de la population ayant accès à l’électricité.

Ce ne sont pas des financements qui font défaut!

Selon la Banque mondiale, le programme de déploiement d’électricité au Rwanda, en anglais EARP (Electricity Access Rollout Project) est financé par un crédit de 70 millions de dollars, sans intérêts, de l’Association internationale de développement (IDA), de la Banque mondiale, en partenariat avec la Banque africaine de développement, la Banque arabe pour le développement économique en Afrique, la Belgique, l’Union européenne (UE), le Japon, les Pays-Bas, le Fonds de l’OPEP pour le développement international (OFID) et le Fonds saoudien pour le développement qui ont, au total, mobilisé 348,2 millions de dollars pour ce programme.

Les coupures, problèmes d’entretien, exploitation et le coût élevé

Il y a deux ans, une enquête menée par la Banque mondiale faisait état de 14 coupures d’électricité par mois, c’est-à-dire, une coupure tous les deux jours. Sur une dizaine de centrales inspectées, huit n’étaient pas en état d’entretien régulier, et subissaient des pannes fréquentes. Les inspecteurs auront aussi remarqué que les transformateurs et pylônes n’étaient pas tous intacts. Par ailleurs, la centrale hydro-électrique de Nyabarongo avait été en arrêt quelques mois seulement, suite à la forte diminution du flux liée au manque de stratégies efficaces en faveur de l’écologie.

D’après un responsable de la Commission Economique des Nations Unies pour l’Afrique (UNECA) basé à Kigali, l’électricité est plus chère au Rwanda qu’à ses voisins. En moyenne, le prix est de 0,24 $ le kWh, comparé à 0,15 $ au Kenya, 0,17$ en Ouganda et 0,05$ en Tanzanie. Même en se basant sur une autre source qui indique 0,20$ le kWh, le prix reste plus élevé.

Les experts dans le domaine, estiment qu’il faudrait au moins 1000MW pour satisfaire les attentes de 12millions de Rwandais, en plus des investisseurs étrangers, les ambitions d’aménagement et planification à moyen et long terme.

En toute évidence, les responsables du pays ont du pain sur la planche, pour rattraper le temps perdu, et pour améliorer le système de fonctionnement. L’électricité et l’eau sont des produits de première nécessité. Certains observateurs n’hésitent pas à relever que ces deux secteurs importants n’ont pas retenu l’attention ni la priorité qu’ils méritaient, ni les efforts qu’il fallait.

Au contraire, les investissements ont été orientés vers des secteurs moins urgents, l’objectif étant la belle image du pays, réellement en « trompe l’œil ». L’accent a été mis sur les « gratte-ciel » et la décoration de la capitale! La construction des « buildings » et l’embellissement d’une ville, est une bonne chose, si et seulement si, elle est précédée par le développement de ces deux secteurs vitaux, l’eau et l’électricité. Lors de la CHAN 2016, les organisateurs ont frôlé le scandale. Il suffit de lire les articles des journalistes étrangers venus couvrir l’évènement. Ils n’ont pas manqué de souligner le manque d’eau et les difficultés en électricité. Il est grand temps, de redoubler les efforts et mettre en avant les priorités.

Rwanda: Mu gihe Miliyoni 210 zanyerejwe mu isanduku ya Leta, abaganga basezeye mu bitaro bya Nemba kubera kudahembwa

Abakozi b’ibitaro bya Nemba biri mu Karere ka Gakenke, baratangaza ko kudahembwa bikomeje kubagiraho ingaruka ku buryo hari abahisemo gusezera bajya gushaka akazi ahandi.

Abasezeye ku kazi ku mpamvu bivugwa ko zifitanye isano n’icyo kibazo, harimo abaganga (abadogiteri) barindwi n’abaforomo bane, bikaba kandi bigaragazwa ko abo bakozi batangiye kugenda ‘urusorongo’ kuva aho icyo ikibazo cyatangiriye.

Uko ikibazo giteye, nk’uko bisobanurwa n’abakozi bakora muri serivisi zitandukanye mu bitaro bya Nemba, ngo kuva mu kwezi kwa kabiri kugeza mu mpera z’ukwezi kwa Kane bari batarahembwa.

Cyakora, ngo umushahara w’ukwezi kwa Werurwe wabagezeho mu cyumweru kirangiye.

Bari ‘mu bibazo’

Bamwe mu bakozi b’ibitaro bya Nemba baganiriye n’Ikinyamakuru Izuba Rirashe ariko bagasaba ko amazina ya bo atakwandikwa muri iyi nkuru, ‘kubw’umutekano’ wabo, bahuriza ku kugaragaza urusobe rw’ibibazo bakururiwe no kudahembwa.

Abo bakozi biganjemo abaganga n’abandi bafite imirimo itandukanye bakora mu bitaro bya Nemba, ibibazo bagaragaza ko barimo birimo kuba bamwe inyungu ku nguzanyo basabye muri banki zikomeje kwikuba, kuba abenshi benda gusohorwa mu nzu batuyemo no kuba abana babo baratangiye kwirukanwa mu mashuri kubera ko batabishyuriye amafaranga.

Umwe muri abo bakozi agira ati “Nti turi abahinzi ngo turahinga, icyo dukora ni ukuvura, ibi bitaro ni wo murima duhingamo, n’ubwo baherutse kuduhemba ukwezi kumwe hagasigara ukundi ndakumenyesha ko bamwe nta na make twafashe. Banki zariyishyuye barangije badutera penalty (ibihano) yo kutishyurira ku gihe nk’uko twabisezeranye, nka njye ubwo banki yahise iyakuraho; bashyizeho umushahara w’ukwezi kumwe noneho banki ihita yiyishyurira icyarimwe amezi abiri inongeraho no kumpa ibihano.”

Undi muganga we agira ati “Kubera kudahembwa imyenda yabaye myinshi; ubu umuntu ari kujya kwikopesha umuceri kuri butike bakakubwira ngo ‘banza uzane n’ay’ukwezi gushize’, n’ubwo baduhembye ukwezi kumwe birasa nk’aho ntacyo byamaze kuko twari tumaze abiri tudahembwa.”

Akomeza agira ati “Tekereza nawe kumara amezi abiri nta faranga kandi ukora! Depenses zabaye nyinshi; umuntu aba atega, agakodesha, akishyurira abana amashuri (…) ubu abana bo batangiye kwirukanwa basabwa minerval!”

Umuzi w’ikibazo

Amakuru Ikinyamakuru Izuba Rirashe gikesha Dr. Habimana Jean Baptiste, Umuyobozi w’ibitaro bya Nemba, agaragaza ko ikibazo kiri mu bitaro abereye umuyobozi, gishamikiye ku igabunuka ry’abaterankunga mu by’ubuzima mu gihe ngo ibyo bitaro bifite ubushobozi buke bwo kwibeshaho.

Uyu muyobozi agaragaza ko ko inkunga Ibitaro bya Nemba byagenerwaga na Minisiteri y’Ubuzima(MINISANTE), yavagamo agahimbazamuskyi k’abakozi ingana na miliyoni 25, yagabanijwe guhera mu mwaka wa 2015 maze igirwa miliyoni 7.

Dr. Habimana avuga kandi ko kuba abakozi batishyurwa bikomeje guterwa no kuba amafaranga yo kubishyura adahari, aha uyu muyobozi agaraza ko ibitaro bya Nemba amafaranga bisanzwe biyahabwa na Leta n’imishinga yayo iterwa inkunga n’ikigega cya ‘Global Fund’ ariko ngo yose ntaraboneka.

Ati “Tugira amafaranga ava henshi, ava muri Leta ari nayo menshi ntaraboneka.” Nanone, “ari aya Global Fund ntaraza, ari ayo tugenerwa na guverinoma na yo ntaraza (…) twe ayo twinjiza (ashingiye kuri mituweli) ntiyaduhaza.”

Dr. Habimana akomeza avuga ko ubusanzwe imishahara y’abakozi ibitaro biyihabwa buri gihembwe gusa ngo iyo muri iki gihembwe ibitaro bya Nemba ntibirayibona.

Cyakora umuyobozi w’ibitaro bya Nemba, avuga ko icyo kibazo kiri gushakirwa umuti ku bufatanye bw’inzego zose kireba ku buryo ngo ‘muri iki cyumweru’ kizaba cyakemutse, abakozi bagahabwa umushahara wa bo w’Ukwezi kwa Kane.

Agira ati “Na njye sinsinzira kuko iyo umukozi yakoze aba agomba guhembwa.” Yungamo ati, “Muri iki cyumweru ibibazo by’imishahara y’ukwezi kwa kane biraba byakemutse.”

Talking Policy: Anjan Sundaram on Rwanda

Leave a reply

Anjan Sundarama has worked as a journalist in Rwanda for years. He has his story to share: “ The underlying tension that caused the genocide has not been addressed. Kagame’s solution was to say that ethnicity was an invention of the Belgian colonial powers that ruled Rwanda for many decades. And so there’s been a de facto ban on speaking about ethnicity in Rwanda…. but…in private Hutus and Tutsis still speak extremely violently and aggressively about the others’ ethnicity. So I would not say there has been a great deal of true reconciliation in Rwanda”.

Following is his interview with The World Policy Journal.

WORLD POLICY JOURNAL: What did you consider your role or your responsibility to be as a foreign journalist working in Rwanda, and how did the restrictions on the local journalists affect this?

ANJAN SUNDARAM: Local journalists and I worked in very different positions. The local journalists were fighting for their own freedom, and they were taking greater risks than I was because their lives were in danger and their families were in danger. They were hoping that their children could live in a better and freer Rwanda.

My own experience was rather different. I had sympathy for my students, so when my students were in trouble I wanted to help them. Of course I was in less danger than they were, but that also meant that I could take greater risks. So during most of my time in Rwanda I did not publish press articles for fear that I would be thrown out of the country and would not be able to help my colleagues and my students. And that was the biggest trade-off; I had to keep silent for a long time. This book is the result of the information and interviews and experiences I gathered during many years of silence in Rwanda, collecting information patiently trying to help [my journalists] as best as I could.

WPJ: You draw parallels between Rwanda’s current political dynamics and those that existed leading up to the genocide in 1994, particularly in terms of the enforcement of a single state-directed narrative and the silencing of alternative voices. What does this suggest about the degree of change that’s happened in the country since the genocide?

AS: On the surface it looks like there’s been a lot of change and a great deal of progress. There’s a lot of calm in Rwanda, it seems stable, and it’s held up by many foreign donors as the island of stability in a troubled region. But the reality is that the same structures that were in place prior to and during the genocide are still in place today, and they’re being reinforced. And this obviously does not augur well for the Rwandan people.

The level of control is extreme—there is no free press, there are no institutions to speak of. Last week President Kagame announced he would run for a third term, violating previous promises to respect what had been a two-term limit in the constitution. Now he’s saying the country needs him and people have asked him to stay on, like many dictators do. But really Rwanda today is a structurally unstable place and there’s very little likelihood that there’ll be a transfer of power without violence.

WPJ: Kagame played a prominent role at the time of the genocide, and he’s still the main figure in the country now. So how much of the problem is tied directly to him, and how much is just how the system operates?

AS: It’s all tied directly to him, he’s the central power in Rwanda and his power is almost absolute, and even his supporters—those who claim he is somewhat democratic and is doing good for Rwanda—would admit that his power is almost absolute. He’s responsible for all the structures that are in place today in Rwanda. And he is directly responsible for the continuation of the system of control that was used to conduct the genocide. He says he is now using that system, or a similar system, for good, but the risk is always that he might make a bad decision, or leadership in Rwanda might change and that the system in place is incredibly powerful and incredibly catastrophic, as we saw during the genocide in 1994. It’s all very well for Kagame to say he’s a good person and is leading the country with good intentions. The reality is that there are almost no checks and balances, and his government and he are capable of doing a great deal of harm, which goes unreported in Rwanda.

WPJ: Do you think Rwandan society has recovered to any extent from the genocide, to whatever degree that’s even possible, even if the state might not have not changed much at its core?

AS: I think there’s very little sense among Rwandans of the existence of individuals with rights, with possibilities. There’s a small elite in the country who feel the sense of possibility, but for the majority they are under the control of the state and their lives are highly restricted. I think there’s been a natural healing process in the last 20 years coming to terms with what’s happened and understanding why that’s happened, and there is a genuine desire among Rwandans that it does not happen again. I think that’s at the root of the obedience toward the current government—[the people] are worried that were they to oppose the government, or were there to be a rebellion, there would be renewed violence. They’re so traumatized by the experience of extreme violence that they accept a great deal of control and repression from the Rwandan state without fighting back or pushing back. The underlying tension that caused the genocide has not been addressed. Kagame’s solution was to say that ethnicity was an invention of the Belgian colonial powers that ruled Rwanda for many decades. And so there’s been a de facto ban on speaking about ethnicity in Rwanda. That unfortunately has not helped reconcile many of the tensions that led to the genocide, and in private Hutus and Tutsis still speak extremely violently and aggressively about the others’ ethnicity. So I would not say there has been a great deal of true reconciliation in Rwanda.

WPJ: Another issue that you bring up in the book is the role of foreign embassies in supporting the Rwandan government and its repression by providing large sums of aid. What do you think foreign governments should be doing about the current situation in Rwanda, and why are they not doing it?

AS: I think foreign governments are very well aware of the repression in Rwanda, I think there’s a perverse situation right now in which foreign governments are hard pressed to find aid that delivers results worldwide. And Rwanda is one of the few countries where aid plans are actually executed according to plan, largely because of the repressive government. For aid agencies this is a paradise—they come in with their plans and their plans are executed almost as they’ve been drawn up. It’s led to a perverse situation where aid agencies and foreign governments benefit from the repression, so they have no interest in disrupting it. Foreign aid officials are getting promotions and receiving plaudits for excellent management of aid programs, so the repression is actually serving foreign governments’ interests.

The real question is why is the world financing a dictatorship. In the case of an emergency there is no excuse for not intervening. But Rwanda is not in emergency today. The aid that is being provided is for long-term development, and most of it is being channeled through the Rwandan government or for government-supported projects. Foreign donors providing this aid could influence the Rwandan government a great deal but choose not to. Aid that is sent directly to NGOs and independent organizations on the ground would not reinforce the government’s repressive mechanisms in the same way. That already would always be a huge improvement in the way that aid is managed. I think donors or foreign governments have not even begun to assess that they might be doing harm and bolstering the Rwandan government. If there was a way to support the Rwandan people who need support—by alleviating poverty and improving health—without directly going through the Rwandan government, that might be a far more effective and less fraught way of providing foreign aid.

WPJ: The period that the book covers ends in late 2013. Has the state of independent journalism changed at all since that time?

AS: Not at all, there is no free press in the country today. When the Rwandan government held a referendum in the country to decide whether the two-term limit on presidents should be removed, apparently only 10 Rwandans in a country of more than 10 million opposed his run for a third term. This speaks volumes about how little freedom of speech there is in Rwanda, how few people actually dare to speak up. There are good journalists in Rwanda who know how journalism should be practiced, but unfortunately they’re all too scared. They’ve seen too many of their colleagues murdered, imprisoned, tortured, or having to flee the country to save their lives.

The Rwandan government does not understand the benefits that free press would provide to the country’s development. It doesn’t understand how free press needs certain protection and that a free press would criticize the government, and that this is a good thing. It also makes the argument that free press—particularly radio broadcasts—contributed to the genocide in 1994. This is a false argument because while the genocide was happening, any media that spoke up against the killing was shut down. There was only a single voice in the country, much as there is now. During the genocide, that single voice was advocating genocide, and people who opposed it were killed or imprisoned. There’s a very similar situation in Rwanda today, where the government’s voice is the only voice in the country, and journalists know that were they to oppose that voice, the consequences would be dire.

WPJ: Based on your description of the narrative that’s carefully crafted by President Kagame’s regime, your book represents a disruption to the way that the country is typically portrayed, both in domestic media in Rwanda and in international media. What do you think the response in Rwanda—and particularly the government’s response—will be?

AS: Historically the government has allowed English press to exist in Rwanda, even that which is critical of the government, because English is only spoken by a tiny minority of elite with very little incentive to disrupt the current power structure. I know that my book is being read in Rwanda because I am receiving emails from people who have somehow obtained copies. Because of Kagame’s announcement last week that he will stand for a third term, this is a particularly sensitive time in Rwanda, and the book is disruptive in that sense.

I thought there was almost an obligation to write about what I experienced, even if it’s merely to put on the record what happened. Most of the repression is forgotten. Most of the journalists who have been killed or exiled are simply forgotten. There are many great people who stood up to the Rwandan government, who saw the increasing repression, and knew that this was not the direction in which the country should be heading, particularly in a country with a history of genocide. They knew that the risk was great and they were brave enough to stand up to the government, and they suffered for it. And now they’re mostly forgotten. I wanted to correct that in some way, and record as much as I could of their stories.

Col MARCHAL écrit à Hérvé Féron sur la commémoration du génocide rwandais.

1 Reply

Monsieur le Député-Maire,

Dans le contexte de la commémoration annuelle du génocide de 1994, vous avez récemment effectué une visite au Rwanda. Soyons clair, par votre présence vous avez cautionné le système de pensée unique que le pouvoir en place à Kigali tente, depuis 1994, d’imposer à la communauté internationale et à sa propre population, en excluant du devoir de mémoire collectif les innombrables victimes n’appartenant pas à la communauté des Tutsis.

C’est, précisément, pour avoir rappelé cette réalité que Madame Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza, candidate à l’élection présidentielle en 2010, a été condamnée à 15 ans de réclusion et ce, à l’issue d’une parodie de justice, ce que n’a pas manqué de dénoncer la Fondation Jean Jaurès.

Je tiens à préciser, sans la moindre ambiguïté, que je considère le génocide des Tutsis comme un fait incontestable. Cette matérialité ne peut, toutefois, servir d’épouvantail et occulter les massacres à grande échelle perpétrés par le Front patriotique rwandais, au Rwanda et dans le Congo voisin, à l’égard des Hutus et des Congolais.

Je prends l’initiative de vous exprimer mon sentiment parce que si certains ont pu être abusés en toute bonne foi au début, quant à la nature exacte du régime de Paul Kagame, par contre, ensuite et depuis de nombreuses années, les preuves objectives se sont à ce point accumulées que toute compromission avec ce régime liberticide et mortifère ne peut être considérée que comme un appui, si pas un encouragement, à ses multiples dérives totalitaires.

Je citerai comme éléments objectifs : les rapports Hourigan, Gersony, Garreton, Pillay, ceux relatifs au pillage des richesses de la République démocratique du Congo. Cette liste est malheureusement loin d’être exhaustive. Je suis convaincu que vous en connaissez la teneur.

Tout comme vous n’ignorez sans doute pas les diverses résolutions prises par le Parlement européens au sujet du Rwanda. Notamment celle du 23 mai 2013, prise en session plénière à Strasbourg. Celle-ci était présentée par cinq groupes parlementaires européens dont deux groupes de gauche : les Socialistes et démocrates au PE et la Gauche unitaire européenne/Gauche verte nordique.

Tout lecteur du texte de la résolution notera que son contenu et les termes utilisés sont sans la moindre ambiguïté à l’égard de Paul Kagame et de son total mépris pour la démocratie et les droits de l’homme. Nous sommes très loin du politiquement correct, style généralement adopté par ce genre d’assemblée.

En guise d’illustration, voici quelques-unes des formulations utilisées dans la résolution :

(…) le FPR demeure le parti politique dominant au Rwanda sous le président Kagame et contrôle la vie publique dans le contexte d’un système de parti unique où les personnes formulant des critiques à l’encontre des autorités rwandaises font l’objet de harcèlements, d’intimidations et sont mises en prisons.

(…) le droit et le système judiciaire rwandais enfreignent les conventions internationales auxquelles le Rwanda est partie (…) notamment ses dispositions sur la liberté d’expression et de pensée.

(…) le respect des droits de l’homme fondamentaux, y compris le pluralisme politique et la liberté d’expression et d’association, sont gravement restreints au Rwanda (…).

(…) le procès en première instance de Victoire Ingabire qui ne respectait pas les normes internationales, en premier lieu en ce qui concerne son droit à la présomption d’innocence, et était basé sur des preuves fabriquées et des aveux de co-accusés qui ont été placés en détention militaire au Camp Kami où on aurait eu recours à la torture pour leur extorquer lesdits aveux.

(…) la nature politiquement motivée du procès, la poursuite d’opposants politiques et l’issue décidée à l’avance du procès.

(…) les libertés de réunion, d’association et d’expression sont des composantes essentielles de toute démocratie, et estime que ces principes font l’objet de graves restrictions au Rwanda.

(…) condamne toute forme de répression, d’intimidation et de détention à l’égard de militants politiques, de journalistes et de défenseurs des droits de l’homme ; demande instamment aux autorités rwandaises de libérer immédiatement toutes les personnes et tous les militants emprisonnés ou condamnés pour le seul exercice de leurs droits à la liberté d’expression, d’association et de réunion pacifique.

(…) rappelle que les déclarations obtenues en employant la torture et autres formes de mauvais traitements ne sont admissible dans aucune procédure.

(…) rappelle aux autorités rwandaises que la démocratie se fonde sur un gouvernement pluraliste, une opposition effective, des médias et un système judiciaire indépendants, le respect des droits de l’homme et des droits de réunion et d’expression (…).

Monsieur le Député-Maire, je suis intiment convaincu que vous ne partagez en aucune façon les principes de gouvernance stigmatisés par le Parlement européen. Pourtant par votre récente démarche au Rwanda, vous vous faites complice d’un régime qui n’a de cesse de reléguer la grosse majorité de sa population à l’état de citoyens de seconde zone et ce, au mépris le plus total des droits les plus élémentaires de la personne humaine.

Je me permets, au nom des millions de victimes rwandaises et congolaises pour lesquelles justice n’a toujours pas été rendue, de vous présenter mes salutations distinguées.

What Can We learn From Kagame’s First Visit With Rwandans In 2016?

Leave a reply

Kagame’s jetting schedule of late

Kagame hardly lives in Rwanda. He is almost always in the air, in his executive jet, the Middle East, a bit of Europe, but mostly in North America. From January to March 3, 2016 the Rwandan head of state was mostly overseas. He recently jetted to Rwanda, first attending the National Leadership Retreat, and now for the first time in 2016, he is visiting with Rwandans. And he just ended a three-day visit the north-western part of the country when he assessed development progress in Gakenke and Rubavu districts.

So what can we learn from Kagame’s visit to Gakenke District?

We learn how the regime lies about its development success — something that is very easy to disprove, however. Here is how the regime boasts about its achievements in Gakenke District:

“ Thursday, 24 March 2016 — Today, President Paul Kagame kicks off a three-day tour in the north-western part of the country. The President started his trip in Gakenke District, Northern Province where he met and interacted with residents…Hit hard by an insurgency in the aftermath of the 1994 Genocide, Gakenke is now peaceful with a vibrant agriculture sector, fast-growing electricity coverage and an impressive healthcare ‘Mutuelle de Sante’ coverage of over 90%. Gakenke boasts many tourism attractions, with imposing mountains full of ancient history, mythology and archaeology.”

This is crude propaganda — in fact pure fabrications, lies, and fantasy.

Gakenke remains one of the poorest sub-regions in Rwanda by any indicators. This is confirmed by the “Gakenke District Development Plan, 2013–2018,” which highlights the following shocking realities:

Energy: “Only 1 percent of the 14 households have access to electricity. This adversely affect women and children because they are the ones mostly in charge of fetching woods.”

Transport Poor infrastructure: “In this regard, the rural area is broken-off and /or becomes costly to access markets and other service centers. These challenges are similarly connected to lack of master plan to guide the road network of the required standards.”

Water and Sanitation: “Some households have to walk long distances to reach water sources and the related negative externalities, such as, on child education and health.”

Urbanization: “Lack of district master plan is also a hindrance to the urbanization sector.”

Health: “Within the health sector issues like mothers giving birth at homes, quality of health facilities and access to health facilities due to the geographical difficulties in accessing health services in rural areas are still a big challenge. Also, high population growth and insufficient medical equipment in Health Centers and District Hospitals are challenges affecting health services within the district.”

Social Protection: “the district still has significant portion of the population under extreme poverty bracket and vulnerable groups…It is also noted that the district has limited monitoring tools like ubudehe graduation categories to facilitate the measurement of sustainability of the benefited persons from poverty.”

Youth: “stumbling block to increased youth productivity is minimal knowledge and skills in management and project preparation, i.e., business project formulation. This is coupled with few technical schools and youth forums through which skills and innovative trainings can be imparted.”

ICT: “Inaccessibility of the rural population to the internet network is the main challenge…96.9 percent of the population of 6+ years have never used computer before.”

Another way of exposing the Kagame regime’s is to read reports from its own newspaper. According to the New Times of March 25, 2016, “The President promised that Gatonde health centre, which the government agreed to build back in 1999 but hasn’t been delivered so far, will be constructed as soon as possible.” This promise was made 17 years. Shame on you King Paul and your dysfunctional regime.

So what do we learn from these presidential visits to rural Rwanda? Nothing much — it is the usual propaganda.

N’iki cyaba kihishe inyuma y’ifungwa rya Dr Rose Mukankomeje?

Dr Rose Mukankomeje usanzwe ari Umuyobozi w’Ikigo cy’Igihugu gishinzwe kurengera ibidukikije, REMA afunzwe n’inzego za polisi aho akurikiranyweho gushaka gukingira ikibaba abayobozi bakekwaho ibyaha bya ruswa ndetse ngo anagerageza kumena amabanga y’akazi.

Nk’uko byatangajwe na Polisi Dr Mukankomeje afungiye kuri station ya Polisi ya Kicukiro, ibyaha Mukankomeje akurikiranyweho ngo bifitanye isano n’iby’abahoze ari abayobozi b’Akarere ka Rutsiro. Uwari Umunyamabanga Nshingwabikorwa w’Akarere ka Rutsiro, Murenzi Thomas, yatawe muri yombi na Polisi mu Mujyi wa Kigali mu Ugushyingo 2015.

Ubushinjacyaha buvuga ko Murenzi yatse ruswa y’amafaranga y’u Rwanda agera kuri miliyoni 15 rwiyemezamirimo wari watsindiye isoko ryo kubaka Guest House y’Akarere ka Rutsiro amubwira ko ari ugufasha ingengo y’imari y’Akarere mu gikorwa cy’amatora.

Ngo Murenzi yahise aha uwo rwiyemezamirimo konti ya banki y’umugore we kugira ngo azabe ari ho anyuza ayo mafaranga yitaga ayo gutera inkunga amatora.

Byukusenge Gaspard wayobora Akarere ka Rutsiro yatawe muri yombi tariki ya 2 Werurwe 2016 i Kigali agiye kwitaba Urwego rw’Umuvunyi.

Dr Rose Mukankomeje ni muntu ki?

Dr Rose Mukankomeje uvuka mu cyahoze ari Kibuye. N’ubwo hari bamwe bamuziza kutajenjeka mu kazi ke (mu nshingano yari afite harimo gutanga ibyangombwa byemerera umuntu wese ugiye gutangira umushinga ku butaka bw’u Rwanda ko ibikorwa bye bitazabangamira ibidukikije, kutajenjeka mu gutanga ibi byangombwa ndetse kugeza no ku bikomerezwa nk’abajenerali n’abandi byamukururiye abanzi benshi) ariko ikidashidikanywaho ni uko yari umuntu uzwiho kuba umukozi, kutagira akaboko karekare no kutagaragaza inyota yo gukira.

Abamuzi bavuga ko atari umuntu wemera kogerwaho uburimiro n’ubonetse wese. Urugero ruvugwa na benshi ni uko igihe yari umudepite mu nteko nshingamategeko yagiye mu mirya na bazina we Lt Col Rose Kabuye, abakabya bavuga ko ngo hitabajwe inshyi, amakofe n’ibindi muri iyo mirwano.

Uyu munyarwandakazi bivugwa ko atigeze ashaka ndetse nta n’abana yigeze, amakuru The Rwandan yashoboye kubona avuga ko yari uwihaye Imana muri babandi bita abakobwa ba Musenyeri baba mu nzu kwa Musenyeri, uyu Dr Mukankomeje akaba yari mu bakobwa ba Musenyeri Wenceslas KARIBUSHI wari Umushumba wa Diyosezi ya Nyundo. Yize ibya Sciences muri kaminuza ya Notre Dame de la Paix y’i Namur mu gihugu cy’u Bubiligi. Yabaye mu myanya myinshi y’ubuyobozi mu Rwanda ndetse no mu rwego mpuzamahanga yahawe igihembo nk’umwe bantu bake babaye indashyikirwa mu kurengera amashyamba kw’isi. Uretse iki gihembo yabonye n’ibindi bihembo byinshi bitandukanye bijyanye no kurengera ibidukikije. Twizere ko mu byo azize hatarimo guhabwa ibihembo dore ko mu Rwanda ugomba gushimwa no guhembwa ari umwe gusa, siniriwe muvuga nzamuvumba.

Solidarité Kibuye

Dr Rose Mukankomeje yari mu bashinze umuryango Solidarité Kibuye, uyu muryango abari bawurimo hafi ya bose bakaba barishwe cyangwa barahunze! Twavuga nka Assinapol Rwigara, Assiel Kabera, Ben Rutabana, Joseph Sebarenzi Kabuye, Thomas Sankara Habyalimana n’abandi..

Mu gihe nk’iki abantu nka Assinapol Rwigara bamaze iminsi bishwe umuntu akaba atabura kwibaza niba iri fungwa nta huriro ryaba rifitanye n’iki kibazo.

Ikigega FONERWA

Iki kigega kigamije gutera inkunga imishinga y’amajyambere igamije kurengera ibidukikije ku nkunga y’igihugu cy’u Bwongereza, PNUD.. Dr Mukankomeje yagize uruhare runini mu gushakira iki kigega amafaranga mu baterankunga ndetse akaba yari afite uruhare runini mu kugenzura uburyo umutungo w’iki kigega ukoreshwa.

Ikindi kizwi kuri iki kigega ni uko ari nk’ubushyo bwite bwa Lt Gen Fred Ibingira, kuko niwe ugabira uwo ashatse. Iki kigega kikaba gikunze guha amafaranga imishinga y’abahoze ari abasirikare (demobs) ariko nyine hitawe ku buryo urebwa neza ibukuru.

Muri make iki kigega ni ubwatsi Lt Gen Ibingira yagabiwe hakoreshejwe ingufu za ba Gen James Kabarebe na Gen Jack Nziza kubera ko yari atangiye kuba umurakare, rero iki kigega gisa nk’igikoreshwa ngo kiryoshyaryoshye abahoze ari abasirikare bataba abarakare ngo bajye muri opposition mu gutera inkunga y’amafaranga imishinga yabo n’iyo yaba iya nyirarureshwa.

Murabyumva namwe ko uburyo aya mafaranga atangwa n’uburyo akoreshwa bishobora gutuma bamwe mu bayobozi batabibona neza. Nka Ministre Vincent Biruta ushinzwe umutungo Kamere we yisanganiwe n’ubundi ubwoba yarazibukiriye ariko bivugwa ko Dr Mukankomeje we yakomeje guhanyanyaza asa nk’usaba ko ayo mafaranga yakoreshwa mu byo agenewe. Ubu hari abadashidikanya ko nta kindi azize uretse kwitambika agatuma Lt Gen Ibingira adatanga amafaranga uko yiboneye!

Abasesengura ibibera mu Rwanda bahamya ko umuntu nka Dr Mukankomeje uzwiho kutagira umururumba wo gushaka gukira vuba nta kuntu yari kujya kurya za ruswa iyo za Rutsiro asize akayabo kari muri FONERWA, ahubwo kwanga ko amafaranga atangwa nk’inzoga ibishye ashobora kuba ari byo azize!

Umunyarwanda umwe wakurikiye inkuru y’iri fungwa yagize ati: “Abagabo bararya abagore bakishyura. Imishinga yariwe ko ari myinshi kandi ko mu bayobozi bakuru nta n’umwe urabibazwa? Abaguze imashini zo guhinga zitigeze zikora na rimwe, abaguze inka mu Buholandi zikamwa litiro ebyeri ku munsi, abatumije inzitiramubu zitujuje ubuziranenge, abashinzwe gutubura imbuto bapfunyikira amazi abahinzi bo ko ntabyo bajijwe…”

Tubitege amaso!
