{All new ministers and state ministers – besides Ministers Claver Gatete of Finance Economic Planning, Jean Philbert Nsengimana of ICT and State Minister Olivier Nduhungirehe of Foreign Affairs and EAC \u2013 were sworn-in today at Parliament in a ceremony presided over by President Paul Kagame.}<\/p>\n
The new cabinet swore in a few hours after they were appointed; a day after the new Prime Minister Edouard Ngirente took his oath. The reshuffle comes after Paul Kagame\u2019s re-election and inauguration earlier this month.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the event, President Kagame expressed confidence in the new cabinet, emphasising that he has no doubt whatsoever in their understanding of Rwandans\u2019 expectations.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe must strive to always do more, faster and better: that is our uniqueness – ubudasa. We owe this to our people. We are a landlocked country. We face challenges that are different from our neighbouring countries’. To solve these issues, we need to do things differently. We can’t afford to live in a \u2018comfort zone\u2019,\u201d President Kagame said.<\/p>\n
The President further reminded the new cabinet that comfort only serves to increase the cost of what the country wants to achieve.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe always stress out how collaboration, communication, and coordination are key in building the Rwanda we want. I am not asking anyone to do the impossible. We need to be strategic and efficient. The opposite would be very costly,\u201d the Head of State added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
