\u201cI thank all Rwandans for the role you\u2019ve played ensuring steady transformation of our country and development. Achieving all this was not easy and the road ahead is tough that\u2019s why we all need to be hard working, and it\u2019s time we let our actions speak for themselves,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
