Ati “Twe tumva ko icyaha ari gatozi, umuntu wakoze icyaha agomba gusaba imbabazi uwo yagikoreye, atari ukuvuga ngo umuntu afata ibyaha by’umubyeyi we, niba papa cyangwa mama wawe yarakoze ibyaha biramureba.” Uyu muyobozi avuga ko iyi gahunda igitangira bahise bandikikira Komisiyo y’Ubumwe n’Ubwiyunge bagaragaza uburyo bwabo bumva ko iyi gahunda ikwiye gushyirwa mu bikorwa. Ati “Twavugaga ko abahoze muri Leta bo bashobora gusaba imbabazi mu izina rya leta yabo yakoze ibyaha, tugaragaza ko ingoma ya cyami na yo Umwami Kigeli aracyahari, nawe yasaba imbabazi mu izina ry’ingoma zose kuko na zo hari amakosa y’ubuyobozi zakoze yaduteje n’ibibazo turimo.” Habineza utsindagira ko ishyaka rye ryubahiriza politiki y’Ubumwe n’Ubwiyunge, agira ati “ Nta gahunda zihembera ingengabitekerezo tugira ndetse nta n’imitwe ishyigikiye ingengabitekerezo dukorana na yo.” Yishimira kuba ‘Ndi Umunyarwanda’ yarahinduye isura Umuseke: Ko ‘Ndi Umunyarwanda’ bagaragaza uruhare yagize mu kunga Abanyarwanda, aho kuyinenga ntimwariho migiza nkana? Habineza: “Oya, ibyo twamaganye twarabyamaganye kandi turabona ko habayeho impinduka kuko uko batangiye bavuga ngo Abahutu bose bahaguruke basabe imbabazi byagiye bigabanuka, wabonye ko umurego byatangiriyeho wagabanutse.” Dr Frank Habineza avuga ko mu rwego rwo kwirinda amacakubiri mu ishyaka ayoboye, bashyizeho komite nkemurampaka ikurikiranira hafi niba hari impaka mu barwanashyaka no mu bayobozi ikaba yabunga, mu gihe binaniranye bakitabaza izindi nzego zibishinzwe mu gihugu.

The Democratic Green Party of Rwanda (DGPR) takes on the opportunity of the International Labour day to request the Rwandan Government to set up a minimum wage (SMG) for Rwandan workers, without further delay, as stipulated in Article 76, Law No. 13/2009 of 27 May 2009. The Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning has been sitting on the draft law for several years, its high time, the law is enacted. It should be recalled that the last time the Rwandan Government set up a minimum wage was in 1974, it’s now 42 years later and a lot has changed on the labour market. DGPR requests all the concerned authorities to address all the complaints of pensioners, especially whereby most of them receive less than 10 USD per month. This money does not help our elders who have worked so hard for this country. They have ended up becoming beggars. This must be revised with immediate effect. DGPR also requests Rwanda Social Security Board to stop making unprofitable investments, like the several skyscrapers built in several towns in the country, which have no tenants. Most of these buildings are only occupied at the ground floor. It’s evident that no proper feasibility study was made before injecting several millions of dollars in these investments. DGPR suggest that those building be privatised and the money spent be returned to the savings account. Done at Kigali, 1st May 2016 Dr.Frank Habineza President, Democratic Green Party of Rwanda
The Democratic Green Party of Rwanda has today, the 19th of April 2016, submitted its demands to the Rwandan Prime Minister, calling for reforms in the national election laws and the political parties Act. This request follows a previous petition submitted to the Rwandan Parliament on 10th February 2016, calling for political and electoral reforms. However, the party was advised by the Deputy Speaker on 10th March 2016, to either find an MP to table the matter in Parliament or request the cabinet to do so as stipulated in Article 88 of the Rwandan Constitution. DGPR approached some MPs but none accepted to take this forward, therefore, a resolve to request the Rwandan Prime Minister as head of Government business, to find an appropriate solution on this important matter before the upcoming Presidential election. DGPR had also written to the National Electoral Commission on 2nd December 2014 and received a response on 10th December 2014, which did not address all the party’s concerns. The Democratic Green Party of Rwanda has requested the Rwandan Prime Minister to address the following issues: DGPR requests that a law be enacted to prohibit all elected officials holding public offices, becoming Chairpersons of political organizations at provincial, district, sector and other local levels of administration. DGPR requests a revision on the law governing independent candidates. We find it unfair for an independent candidate to be judged on the same 5 percent threshold like political parties. We suggest that such a threshold be not more than 2 percent. DGPR requests the revision of parties’ election threshold for entering the Rwandan parliament to be reduced from 5 percent to 4 percent. DGPR requests the introduction of an electronic voting system that equally uses ballot papers. We encourage the use of ICT in the electoral process, as it promotes voter’s confidence. DGPR requests that media organizations be allowed to announce election results after being declared by poll officials at all polling stations and tallying centers. DGPR requests that Election observers be allowed to monitor elections in all poling and tallying centers at Village, Cell, Sector and District levels. This will promote more transparency and help in increasing the trust we have in the National Electoral Commission. DGPR also requests that all Political Parties be represented in the National Electoral Commission. DGPR requests that the election law be revised for political parties to receive campaign support from the state in advance, instead of being reimbursed after getting the 5 percent of the national vote after the elections. Political Parties in Burkina Faso receive campaign support in advance and this can be a good example for Rwanda. This change will allow all political parties to be on a level playing field. DGPR requests that the political parties law of 12/07/2013 be revised, especially in its article 24, where it prohibits political parties to accept donations from foreign organizations. DGPR requests that the law be revised and conditions be put on foreign support, such as declarations of the source of funding and provision of reports to the concerned Government bodies. The good example is Uganda, where political parties can receive foreign support but declare its source and give reports to the Government. There is also a limit on what a single donor can give to the political party in a given year in Uganda. The Democratic Green Party of Rwanda, believes that a positive reaction from the Rwandan Prime Minister will lay a strong foundation for democracy and will allow all political parties have a level playing field before the upcoming general elections.
