Christopher Bazivamo, Rwanda’s legislator at the East African Legislative Assembly has challenged ambitious youth to be patriotic, punctual and avoid selfishness to brighten their future.
Bazivamo said this during a Sunday Night live show where Tom Close and Kitoko featured as local music artists attracting a huge gathering.
“Every citizen must have a sense of duty in daily routine. You need to value your sense of duty are required and to fulfill, you first have to know what the duties are before implementing them.” He said.
The lawmaker urges youth to be smart in whatever they wish to accomplish since “you can’t pull off all your goals with no discipline.
“If it’s time for playing, reading, eating, do it at right time as it affects your mind system when you mix up things” he warned.
He lashed at the professional footballers saying some of them are more interested in minting money other than loving the career. “Rwandan football is like a lay where people conceal digging up money rather than loving the game, this pushes players to go where they can get money and sometimes they don’t play if not paid.”
“Seeking advice from different perspectives, to be acquainted with where things are wrong enables one t to improve. And to attain this you need to value and admire your workmates and the society which in turn generates positive outcomes to the society and awards you with trust at work,” he added.
The comments comes after FERWAFA officials resigned following the coach of Amavubi, apparently due to the poor performance that keeps the national team at the bottom of the continental football tournament.
Bazivamo argued Rwandan youth to develop career talents from villages, sectors, schools and districts more than recruiting from a broad.
He said that he likes local music and revealed that he a regular fan to Rugamba, Masabo and Impala due to the message their songs hold.
He lamented that the most shocking thing in his life, is when his wife and children were killed during 1994 Rwandan Tutsi Genocide “but after all that I strive to go on with my relatives to enjoy life”.
Christopher Bazivamo is presently an MP in EALA and before that, he was a Minister of land, Environment, Forestry, Water and Minerals, in 2003 and 2004 he was the Minister of Local Government, Community Development and Social Affairs.
