We should politic less and work more, complain less and focus on solutions. Every problem needs a solution. Private sector is good at solutions. Sole trader, partnership, limited company etc; are the private sector we are referring to. GRZ will facilitate. Let’s work.

Rwanda, allow me to brag about you for a moment. 🇷🇼😂
Some moments make you smile. Others make you stand a little taller as an African. This one did both.
One correction to my voice-over: Didace is First Counsellor, not Secretary. My enthusiasm clearly outran my protocol. 😂
Watch below. Pride means more when we give each other reasons to feel it.
