Other sectors should also adopt Ndi Umunyarwanda

The Kinyarwanda adage, umwera uturutse ibukuru bucya wakwiriye hose, loosely translated into – the common man always follows the leaders’ example – summarises the importance of the just concluded leadership retreat. Leaders can make or break a nation, and there could never be a better example than Rwanda to illustrate how far bad leadership can sink a country. The Ndi Umunyarwanda (I am Rwandan) initiative was the brainchild of a group of youth who realised that they held the key to a better Rwanda where equal access to the country’s resources was the key word.
