Earth Day Celebration Rwanda: Urgent Action on Water Pollution and Waste Dumping is needed.

Thursday, 22 April 2021

Today is #EarthDay2021 the main theme is Restore our Earth. Yesterday, 21st April, a team from the Democratic Green Party of Rwanda, visited River Nyabugogo, which flows in into River Nyabarongo-the distant source of River Nile. This river runs through Kigali City, near Kigali main Bus Park in Nyabugogo. It is affected by several bussiness activities, that including car garages, restourants, shops, and the sorrounding communities. A lot of household waste is directly dumped into the river and part of its catchment has become a dump-site. This is deplorable and we strongly condemn these actions. We call upon all concerned Rwandan authorities especially the City of Kigali to add more efforts in protecting this river and the Nile Basin catchment in Rwanda at large. Urgent action on pollution and waste management is needed. This will help us restore this brown water color to it’s original color and thus we will be doing our duty in Restoring our Earth. We were assessing the extent of its pollution and are conducting a study on the Nile Basin Area in Rwanda. Tomorrow, 23rd April, 2021, we shall present an inception Report of this study. Details will be shared. Dr.Frank Habineza [MP] President, Democratic Green Party of Rwannda

Green Party Celebrates “Positive Step” As Government Abandons Exorbitant Property Taxes

Green Party Celebrates “Positive Step” As Government Abandons Exorbitant Property Taxes

Thursday, 18 March 2021

The opposition Democratic Green Party of Rwanda on Wednesday called for a ‘lasting solution’ after its campaign against hiked property tax bore fruit. The Finance Minister Dr Uzziel Ndagijimana announced Tuesday late evening that government had decided to suspend implementation of taxes on land and property which had come into force in 2019. According to the Ministerial Order at the time, the new rates varied from Rwf 0-300 per sqm. Rates on taxable buildings on the other hand, were categorized based on the market value of the building; that is to say, the 2020 rate for residential buildings is 0.5%, while for commercial buildings is 0.3% and 0.1% for others. There has been a slight change on the 2020 rates compared to the previous year’s where residential buildings rates were at 0.25%, commercial buildings rates at 0.2%, while others stayed the same. There was also to be a change on the next two years’ rates, where by in 2021, residential buildings rates will be at 0.75%, commercial buildings at 0.4% and others will stay the same; while in 2022, residential buildings rates will be at 1%, commercial buildings at 0.5% and others will stay the same. In monetary terms for example, the land tax rose from between Rwf30 – Rwf80 per square metre, to between zero and Rwf300. The law determines the size of a standard plot of 300 square meters, meaning that it is 20 metres in length to 15 metres wide. The tax was to also actually increase by 50 per cent for each extra square metre to such standard plot. Among the noisy critics to the taxes from day one has been Dr Frank Habineza, president of the Green Party. He even introduced a rare private members bill in the Lower Chamber of Parliament to remove or cut the land tax. In media interviews, Habineza has said that his proposal was that if the tax is to be increased, it should at least be put at Rwf100 not Rwf300 as proposed by the Government. He had repeatedly wondered how government can increase taxes in a pandemic. There has been consistent opposition from the public on the new taxes. Asked about them in December last year, President Paul Kagame said government would look into the public’s concerns. Reacting to the latest surprising announcement by the Finance Minister, Habineza said: “We appreciate the positive step taken by [Government] by temporarily suspending the implementation of new property tax law. Let’s hope a lasting solution will be found. We will continue to be the voice of the people.” Since some people had already paid the annual land and property taxes as of February 2021, the finance ministry said the tax body will deduct the extra money paid, and that will be added to the taxes for 2022. Since the news came through, there has been overwhelming positive reaction from the public on social media and radio talk shows. For the Green Party, they will see this current development as one of their wins. Source: Green Party Celebrates “Positive Step” As Government Abandons Exorbitant Property Taxes – THE CHRONICLES

Democratic Green Party of Rwanda End of Year Message and Aspirations for 2021

Thursday, 31 December 2020

Democratic Green Party of Rwanda End of Year Message and Aspirations for 2021 As we come to the close of the year 2020, which was characterized by the COVID-19 Pandemic that left many families mourning the loss of their loved ones, we take on this moment to foremost comfort all those that lost their loved ones and express our gratitude to all front-line workers who sacrificed themselves to contain this pandemic in Rwanda. A big thank you thank to all Nurses, Doctors, others in the medical professional and our National Police in collaboration with all security organs who worked tirelessly to ensure our security and survival from this pandemic and other security threats. Despite being a challenging year, The Democratic Green Party of Rwanda, was able to conduct two national gatherings bringing together political bureau members from different parts of the country and recorded some milestones during 2020, for that we are grateful to all party members, supporters, media fraternity, National Consultative Forum of Political Organizations and the Government of Rwanda. During this year, DGPR got a third Parliamentarian, Hon. Alexis MUGISHA, who was elected a Senator by the National Consultative Forum of Political Organizations in Rwanda, this was a great milestone indeed. We are grateful to all Rwanda’s political parties and political organizations that entrusted him with that responsibility. DGPR was also able to strengthen party structures by practicing internal democracy where several members were elected to head key structures in the party leadership both on provincial level and the City of Kigali. Women greens also elected new leaders in the City of Kigali and the Ethics and Conflict Resolution Committee got new leaders. The party also developed a strategic plan, conducted an Organization Capacity Needs assessment, revised its communication strategy and made a mid-term review and evaluation of its Political Program/Platform. MPs representing the party in Parliament advocated for reforms on different policies, programs and legislation, on key issues benefiting the population. A lot has been published in the media and we are grateful the media fraternity for keeping the democracy banner raised in Rwanda. Looking ahead to 2021, we shall continue: strengthening party structures in the country, capacity building of party members, collaboration with different stakeholders and sectors, implementation of various party strategies, advocating for reforms or changes of government programs and policies in favor of citizens better welfare and environmental sustainability. On behalf of Democratic Green Party of Rwanda, we wish to thank you all for supporting us and promoting the democracy and well-being of Rwandans. Please accept our best wishes to you and your families for a wonderful holiday season and a healthy and prosperous New Year 2021. Dr.Frank HABINEZA [MP] President, Democratic Green Party of Rwanda

Green Party promises to make a plea for small businesses to have access to the Post-COVID-19 Recovery Fund

Green Party promises to make a plea for small businesses to have access to the Post-COVID-19 Recovery Fund

Monday, 2 November 2020

The opposition Democratic Green Party of Rwanda promises to make a plea for small businesses that have been affected by COVID-19 to have access to the 100 billion Frw Post-COVID-19 Economic Recovery Fund, according to Party President Dr. Frank Habineza. The conditions of access to this Fund limit the small farmer or informal trader who had a credit of 500 000 Frw to one million Frw, and who can no longer restart his business because of the losses related to COVID-19. It seems that it is the big companies and hotels that will benefit from this fund of 100 mds Frw. That s why Green party wishes for all those in the informal sector to have access to this fund said Dr. Frank Habineza. He made the remarks during the communication training and meeting of Political Bureau members of the Green Party, which was reviewing public access to information to deal with COVID pendamic. It was necessary to assess whether information on COVID-19 was well disseminated. We will verify if they are still people detained as a result of COVID-19 so that they can be released. Similarly, there are concerns that the country is accumulating more debts that will weigh on the future of the population. Information will be provided for further clarification. The other aspect concerns the present five-month long school term, which will likely require more budget, while the Ministry of Education hasnt decided on its reduction or increase of school fees. Similarly, some schools have started charging ten thousand Frws for the purchase of masks per student, but parents incomes are limited, said the Green Party President. He was pleased that his party had now reached maturity and that one of its members had just been elected a Senator by the Forum of Political Parties. It is a sign of a renewed confidence by partner parties and all Rwandans. Our candidate will work for the entire population and breath young blood into the Senators team, which is also made up of dynamic young Senators. We hope that we will get intergrated into all other organs of the state, including diplomacy. In the next local elections, our members will be encouraged to run for certain positions said the Green Party President. He welcomed the results achieved by his party. Already the teacher s salary has been increased by 20% per year. Green Party ran a campaign to increase the pay of the soldiers and the policemen. He revealed that reliable information reports that the soldier s salary has been increased by 75%, and that of the police officers by 50%. During that day, Green Party confirmed that 100 new members have joined the party. Elections were also held on the same day to establish the Conflict Resolution Committee within the Green Party. Three men and two women now form the Office of this Committee.
