The 26th Commonwealth Heads of Government [CHOGM] is only a few months away, to be hosted here in Kigali, 22-27th June, where, other than the government heads, we expect over 10,000 guests in the country. We are talking of that number of guests that will be here for almost a week, consuming services made in Rwanda and provided by Rwandans; food and drinks, transport, accommodation, telecom services, entertainment, among a plethora of commodities.

In Rwanda, we are a people on the move. Always. We are a people that have refused to be hostages of our bad history.

From the time Rwanda was liberated from the despotic leaders of yesteryears, we have seen and experienced every fabric of our society metamorphosing into vitality. This has been made possible by crafting and implementing a shared vision.
