Editor, First of all, I wish to congratulate the two main national  workers’ unions, Cestrar and Cotraf, for coming up with a proposal for a new minimum wage, with demands that the daily minimum wage be at least Rwf1, 500.

Editor, I read the article titled, “Businesses demand EALA seat” in the yesterday’s issue of The New Times, with a great deal of interest. The article was appealing because, first, it was the first time that our business leaders had shown keen interest in joining politics, at least publicly, and second, because I thought that the East African Community (EAC) is essentially about business.

Editor, Last week, the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) transferred to Rwanda another Genocide case file, but, once again, against a suspect who remains at large – former Nyakizu bourgmestre Ladislas Ntaganzwa.

Editor, This is with reference to an article that I read in yesterday’s issue of The New Times, under the headline, “New report shows gender disparity in agric. sector”.
