RURA made the warning on Sunday during a radio talk show ‘ Kubaza bitera Kumenya ‘ which was devoted to the new digitized technology used in TV programs instead of analog technology previously used in the transmission of images of the Rwanda Television.

Jean Baptiste Mutabazi, the Head of Information and Communication who participated in the debate said “We will always track those who trade decoders that do not meet criteria of approved decoders. To date, only Startimes , Transafrica , TV10/GOTV are authorized to distribute decoders”

With digital technologies, it is expected that 90% of Rwandan citizens will have ample access to TVR programs whereas with analog system, they were only 45%.
