Simple, Rwanda has registered the fastest growth in the last 25 years. We are better for it and want this growth to continue.

Many-a-time, especially these days, we are asked about 2017.  It’s always interesting to watch/hear the responses – all rooted in arguments for change based on what happens elsewhere or deemed “best practice.”  Well, Rwandans are thinking different for now and I believe it’s rooted in what we see & enjoy on the ground summarized by the Economist.   

As a matter of fact this growth has been registered in the last 15 years given that between 1994 and 2000 we focused on establishing a great foundation for national security, unity and reconciliation.  In 2000 we begun implementing Vision 2020.  Today, Rwanda is better than its ever been and it is so because of President Kagame’s leadership.  Yes, it’s selfish for us to want for him to continue as president given that since he was a teenager, he’s been fighting for Rwandans and deserves to rest.  However, we think we aren’t where we need to be and want him to continue to leading us to realizing the promise of our Vision 2020 and beyond.  

History will judge our choice.
