The Media has been transferred to the local government ministry (MINALOC). It was previously under Cabinet Affairs Ministry.
Discussions are underway between MINALOC and the Cabinet Affairs Ministry to officially effect the transfer.
The Minister of Local Government Musoni James told a local news website, “from now it is MINALOC that will be catering for issues of media policy and going to Parliament and Cabinet on issues of media.”
The recently established Rwanda Governance Board [RGB], supervised by MINALOC, will handle media advocacy.
Sources indicated that Minister Protais Musoni previously in charge of Media expected to address the Legatum institute in London,UK on Monday morning but it was cancelled.
The Legatum Institute is an independent non-partisan public policy organisation whose research, publications, and programmes advance ideas and policies in support of free and prosperous societies around the world.
LI’s signature annual publication is the Legatum Prosperity Index, the world’s global assessment of national prosperity based on both wealth and subjective wellbeing.
LI is a co-publisher of Democracy Lab (with Foreign Policy Magazine), a website dedicated to covering political and economic transitions around the world.
