The trade fair that delayed due to Covid-19 pandemic has been set to new dates from 11th until 31st December 2020.
During a press briefing held today announcing preparations of the upcoming expo bringing together relevant institutions including the Ministry of Trade and Industry as well as Rwanda National Police, it was revealed that the expo will be characterized by reforms aimed at strengthening measures to control the pandemic.
To this end, the Chairperson of PSF, Stephen Ruzibiza said that Bralirwa and Skol are among companies that won’t participate.
“Skol and Bralirwa will not participate in this year’s expo but restaurants that will be operating at the show ground can serve drinks from the respective companies to clients. Bralirwa and Skol won’t come to the Expo,” he emphasized.
PSF explained that concerned beverage companies took part in consultative discussions in which they were informed on directives only allowing them to supply drinks to restaurants in the expo.
Police spokesperson, CP John Bosco Kabera said that the Expo should not be an opportunity for increased beer consumption noting that even bars are closed due to Covid-19.
All expo goers will be required to pay by digital means as part of ongoing measures to curb the spread of Covid-19 pandemic.
Among others, children below 12 are not allowed to attend while physical entertainment activities are prohibited.
The expo will start from 9am to be closed 8pm every day for people to respect curfew hours.
As of today, PSF has confirmed the participation of 372 companies including 72 foreign companies from 12 countries.
