{Rwandan opposition party (DGPR) which works towards Democracy and protection of Natural resources resumed discussions about the current program of Ndi Umunyarwanda- meaning I am Rwandan.}
The party announced its support for the “Ndi umunyarwanda” program, the DGPR believes that this program is quite an important contributor to the post 1994 genocide unity and reconciliation process of Rwandans.
According to a meeting held on Monday November 4th , 2013 with the journalists, at the party’s (DGPR) offices, the party members suggested the program should not only be for government leaders, but it should be open to other Rwandans to further the success of this program. Such as, leaders in private sectors, journalists and religious institutions should be allowed to participate in the programs.
The Green party also suggested that these discussions about the “Ndi umunyarwanda program” should be starting from the district levels and be officiated by the residents themselves but in presence of their local leaders.
The Green party confirmed that they support all the education programs that were started by the government, however, the party suggests there should be some changes in some areas of education. For example, agricultural studies should be introduced at the secondary level, while Tourism and Hotel management should be offered at the post- secondary level.
In terms of economic growth they suggest there should be some changes on the transport of goods and services in the Urban and Rural areas. Another suggestion from the green party was the opening of an institution in charge of wild life.
The Green party also suggests more efforts should be placed on medical insurance (Mutuelle de santé); specifically, people should be offered the same medical services as those offered to the ones in RSSB and MMI in order to support the Old aged people and also the 1994 genocide survivors.
Contrary to prior allegations the Secretary General of the Green party Jean Claude Ntezimana did not dismiss Frank Habineza , president of the party. The meeting was officiated in presence of the 2 leaders who later confirmed to the journalists that there weren’t any problem within the Green party as previously suggested.
