Rwandan taxi and motor drivers are deeply showing anger over taxis’ and motor cycle, s from Burundi that take away clients from the area near the border of Rwanda and Burundi
This is evidenced by cars with Burundian number plates that have dominated the area through in and out movements between the two countries.
Speaking to IGIHE, these special hire taxi and motor cycle drivers are not happy with this condition because it has led them to heavy losses and failure to pay government tax in time.
“They also added that in order to win the hearts of these customers, it has led them to change from Rwanda number plates to Burundi number plates” Said Ndayiziga Emmanuel the head of (COMOMARU) cooperative in Bugarama sector.
He also added that people residing near the border fear taxes in the Country that,s why they prefer using Burundian number plates to avoid taxes in Rwanda.
Speaking to IGIHE, the executive secretary of Rusizi district, Antoinne Mbonyumukiza he thought the problem had been solved as the two parts have been once in discussions before.
However, taxi drivers still confirm the problem hasn’t yet reached its limelight but still in progress and affecting them negatively.
