“We are not building homes only to see them falling apart in a year. Giving citizens a home is about providing a foundation build on and transform your lives. It is not about citizens becoming eternally dependent on government.”
President Kagame cited the historical background of Ndiza which he was part of the country’s bad history which Rwandans cannot run away from.
“We can learn from our history and build a better future. The liberation struggle on the battlefield succeeded because those who were fighting worked with citizens. It is this spirit of unity that we want to maintain to transform this country.”
President Kagame also underscored that the spirit of unity will transform our country while at the same time highlighting that the wellbeing on the citizens is their utmost right.
“The liberation struggle on the battlefield succeeded because those who were fighting worked with citizens. It is this spirit of unity that we want to maintain to transform this country,” he said.
“Access to electricity, water and other services provided by government is your right; you should hold us accountable and demand that we deliver. Do not accept to pay anyone a bribe, delivering and serving you is our duty,” he said.
President Kagame stated that if citizens were able to maintain the infrastructure and services provided to them by the Government, this would make it easy for other needy people to access the same, instead of going back and forth providing assistance to those who benefited before.
