Kigali: The Democratic Green Party of Rwanda calls upon the Governor of the National Bank of Rwanda to consider the French language while printing all new bank notes. It came to our notice that the National Bank of Rwanda printed new bills of 500 Frw only in Kinyarwanda and English languages yet before the old notes had the French language as well. DGPR finds this act against the Rwandan Constitution, especially in Article 5, which states that the official languages of Rwanda are: Kinyarwanda, English and French. DGPR calls upon the Governor of the National Bank of Rwanda to respect the constitution and consider printing new bank notes in all the three official languages as recognized by the Rwandan Constitution.

DGPR Calls upon the Rwandan Minister of Foreign Affairs to Explain to the Rwandan Parliament the Diplomatic Stand-off between Rwanda and South Africa The Democratic Green Party of Rwanda is deeply concerned with the escalating diplomatic stand-off between Rwanda and South Africa. This comes after the reciprocal expulsion of diplomats from both missions and the non-issuance of visas to Rwandans by the South African Embassy in Kigali. We would like to call upon the Rwandan Minister of Foreign Affairs to explain to the Rwandan Parliament the causes of the on-going diplomatic stand-off between Rwanda and South Africa. We also request the Minister to equally explain to Rwandans what the state is doing in order to overcome the on-going challenges. DGPR’s security and foreign policy encourages Rwanda to be at peace with itself and its neighbours and promotes a culture of peace and cooperation between states, inside societies and between individuals, as a basis of national and international security.

The Political Bureau of the Democratic Green Party of Rwanda during its meeting on 7th March 2014 at Auberge Bel Angle, Kimironko, Kigali, among other things finalised discussions on the ‘Ndi Umunyarwanda’ program and the National Consultative Political Parties Forum. The Party supports the objective of ensuring and encouraging all the different people’s groups in Rwanda to put aside their differences and promote the spirit of being Rwandans (Ndi Umunyarwanda). The party however, calls for the following changes: Requesting for pardon, should only be for those who were involved in genocides acts, but request it from those they wronged. Those supposed to grant pardon, are encouraged to do so, instead of keeping quiet, so that the country can move to the next level. Those who were in power or governed Rwanda from the time it became a nation-state to 1994 genocide against Tutsi’s, should also own up their leadership mistakes and request pardon from all Rwandans. These include the last King of Rwanda, representing the monarchy and those still alive in both the first and second Republics. We believe that if this is done, it will help in bringing true unity and reconciliation, since all regimes wronged Rwandans in one way or another. History of Rwanda should be taught in its genuinity but not be altered to appease ruling regimes. DGPR also finalized discussions on the National Consultative Political Parties Forum and resolved to apply to join, in order to give the party a chance to share its political program with other political leaders and promote the culture of debate as an opposition party with those in the ruling coalition on different matters affecting the state.
