“We have to make sure the private sector does not work alone. They have to work in partnership with governments and Governments cannot work alone. If you want to maximize resources, you have to bring the two together and each does what they do best,” he said.

President observed this yesterday as he delivered a keynote address on the second day of the 5th edition of Transform Africa 2019 taking place at Kigali Convention Center from 14th to 16th May 2019 attended by Kenya president, Uhuru Kenyatta, and Mali President Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta.

He said that Governments must also invest, especially in the backbone and infrastructure on which the private sector can build for connectivity.

“This investment has to result into things that are affordable, accessible to our citizens. The regulators, policymakers have to bear in mind that they have to put in place a framework to facilitate investments that are not too expensive to avoid transferring the cost to consumers,” stressed Kagame.

The President said that creating the market and investing in the development of digital skills of citizens so more and more is making good use of these investments and justifying a large number of resources that have to go into it.
