If people work for a few hours, it means that much time is wasted. That is why we request Rwandans to understand that they must increase hours in profitable work,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Statistics from the Ministry of Agriculture and Animal Resources indicate that 70% of Rwandans practice agriculture.<\/p>\n<p>MIFOTRA explained that people engaged in agricultural jobs especially hard labour are  41% working between 10 and 20 hours per week while people who cultivate their lands and work inadequate hours are 38%. <\/p>\n<p>Even though some employees complain for meager salaries,MIFOTRA says that the international day of labor will find them well since they live in good conditions compared to the labor market.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is neither meager nor big salary. People paid Rwf 10,000 want Rwf 20,000; others paid Rwf 300,000 want to get Rwf 400,000. The most important is to have a good management of salaries and wages.\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>From 25th April to 1st May, 2016 Rwanda will mark a week of activities encouraging people to work.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-11875 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/14612743515i0a8388.jpg\" alt=\"The Minister of Public Service and Labor, Judith Uwizeye\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>{The Ministry of Public Service and Labor (MIFOTRA) has expressed frustrations over a large number of public servants and private practitioners working for a few hours and use much of the time in private businesses or doing nothing, affecting efficiency in the delivery of services at different levels. } It was revealed yesterday in a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[75],"byline":[160],"hashtag":[],"class_list":["post-24814","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-homenews","byline-theophile-niyitegeka"],"bylines":[{"id":160,"name":"Th\u00e9ophile Niyitegeka","slug":"theophile-niyitegeka","description":"","image":{"id":0,"url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&f=y&r=g","alt":"Default avatar","title":"Default avatar","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","sizes":[]},"user_id":3}],"contributors":[{"id":160,"name":"Th\u00e9ophile Niyitegeka","slug":"theophile-niyitegeka","description":"","image":{"id":0,"url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&f=y&r=g","alt":"Default avatar","title":"Default avatar","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","sizes":[]},"user_id":3}],"featured_image":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24814","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24814"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24814\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24814"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24814"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24814"},{"taxonomy":"byline","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/byline?post=24814"},{"taxonomy":"hashtag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hashtag?post=24814"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
