{{The minister in charge of cabinet affairs Protais Musoni has said that implementation of national priorities will be hastened as a way to achieve the country\u2019s developmental goals on time.}}<\/p>\n
He was briefing the media on the outcomes of the concluded 9th national dialogue.<\/p>\n
Musoni pointed out that the national dialogue was essential since it promoted accountability among leaders by giving space to the public to give their opinions especially on government based programs.<\/p>\n
The minister of local government James Musoni noted that views from the public are also considered in the formation of the coming year agenda.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe gather opinions from everyone, may it be from senior leaders, civil society, private sector, security officials and the general public.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added, \u201cPolicy makers are always there to take note of interesting ideas while leaders also note problems at the same time there\u2019re common agreements which are also considered in formation of the national plan,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Anastase Murekezi the minister of Public Service and Labor (MIFOTRA) noted measures are being enhanced to strengthen the private sector through capacity building and assistance to access finance.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo far we\u2019re training them on how to write good projects since it influences access to credit and we also provide mentors to guide them in management of their entities,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n
He was reacting to concerns of the lack of partnership between local private sector and international firms. <\/p>\n
A good example is the recent partnership of Visa Company with government which is contrary to its trend of collaborating with private investors.<\/p>\n
Responding to the matter, the minister of finance John Rwagombwa insisted that partnering with Visa doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that the local private sector is incompetent.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe agreement is in line with the government\u2019s program of enhancing electronic payment system through the use of technology,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The recent appointed minister of education and also the former head of senate, Vincent Biruta gave highlights on some of the plans aimed at improving the education sector.<\/p>\n
He also disagreed with rumors that boarding schools will be closed citing rather students who are in boarding schools away from their homes are advised to look for similar schools in their neighborhood, the aim is to have less students boarding so that learning institutions secure rooms to accommodate more students under the both free primary and secondary education.<\/p>\n
Biruta also disclosed that a revision of the syllabus was underway which will be followed by uniting all public universities in order to utilize resources.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe intend to have a major laboratory equipped with sophisticated tools.\u201d<\/p>\n
