  • Family Dispute Delays Burial Of Ghana's Former President Rawlings #rwanda #RwOT

    Ghanaian Presidency has ordered the family of late President Jerry John Rawlings to set a burial date so that government can also prepare for the sendoff.

    The Office of the President asked the family of former President Rawlings to communicate a consultatively agreed date for his burial.

    This, they say, will inform the government's planning process for a befitting ceremony for the late statesman.

    In a statement signed by the Chief of Staff, Akosua Frema Osei-Opare, the Awadada and the Agbotui and allied family were asked to urged to 'resolve all outstanding matters' in order 'for the necessary action to be taken as soon as possible'.

    President Nana Akufo-Addo also acknowledged receipt of a letter from the family regarding an initial date that was announced.

    This comes after the family of Jerry John Rawlings dismissed reports of the funeral date of the country's longest-serving head of state.

    The date was disclosed by James Victor Gbeho, Head of Funeral Planning Committee in a press release, Monday, which said the family in consultation with government have agreed on December 23, for the funeral.

    But Secretary to the Agbotui family in a press release noted that the said consultation with the family never took place.

    The Awadada of Anlo State also lamented that the announcement of December 23 as the burial date was not just a show of disrespect for Anlo values, but disregard for the unity and peace of the Ghanaian people, which the late Rawlings upheld.

    Former President Jerry John Rawlings died on Thursday, November 12, at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra after a short illness.

  • SG of African Free Trade Area Secretariat Meets President Tshisekedi #rwanda #RwOT

    Wamkele Mene the Secretary General of the African Continental Free Trade Area Secretariat flew to DRC's capital Kinshasa to meet with President Felix Tshisekedi.

    The DRC Presidency said on Tuesday, 'Their discussions essentially revolved around questions relating to the proper functioning of the Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA. As a reminder, this economic structure militates in favour of growth, poverty reduction and the expansion of economic inclusion in Africa.'

    African leaders recently met and officially okayed the start of trading for the Africa Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA)- a wholly-owned African development initiative.

    It had been originally scheduled to get operational on 1 July 2020 but was delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

    In Previous interviews during the lockdown, Wamkele Mene explained the way forward, and how increased intra-African trade can help lift economies post-COVID-19.

    According to Wamkele Mene, the African economy was set to grow at about 3.4 % in 2019 and projected to increase to 3.9% in 2020, but COVID-19 has had a very negative impact.

    'We know that over 53% of Africa's exports go to countries, particularly Europe, that are themselves suffering from the pandemic. That has had a subdued effect on our export markets. Our services sector is set to fall by between 20% and 30%, particularly travel and hospitality. We must find ways to mitigate the effects of the pandemic, but the primary focus for now is to save lives.'

    Free trade in Africa was expected to boost intra-African trade from 18% to about 50% within a given timeframe- Wamkele explained, 'We have an objective of reaching 50% intra-African trade between now and the year 2030.'

    Apart from COVID-19, reaching 50% intra-African trade, and hopefully above that, depends on our capacity to accelerate regional value chains and the manner and pace in which we implement the agreement.

    ON fears that the Covid-19 pandemic may trigger protectionism by some African countries, Wamkele argues that AfCFTA makes provisions for countries to take temporary measures to protect or advance public health in times of crisis.

    'Our job as the Secretariat will be to ensure that where there are measures in place that have created protectionism, and where they do not meet the necessity for public health, that those measures are removed.'

    'So, it will be our job to undertake that monitoring function. This has been the fastest ratified trade agreement in the African Union because countries recognize the importance of an integrated market as opposed to isolationism and autarky,' he said.

  • Cimerwa Plc nets Rwf 1.9 billion #rwanda #RwOT

    The figures were released yesterday as Cimerwa presented financial report for the past nine months of the previous financial year that ended September 2020.

    Overall the company registered Rwf 63.5 total revenues.

    The profit is promising for new investors wishing to buy the firm’s shares currently listed on Rwanda Stock Exchange (RSE).

    Albert Sigei, Cimerwa Chief Executive Officer said that the performance required much effort due to COVID-19 disruptions which affected different businesses.

    The firm was also closed during the 40-day lockdown.The plant later struggled to get new equipment for cement processing. Sigei explained that the firm managed to overcome those challenges with the support of the Government of Rwanda which established strong COVID-19 resilience strategy that they leveraged to expand activities.

    Generally, Cimerwa produced 421,000 tons of cement. The firm registered a remarkable improvement producing 55,000 tons in July this year breaking record as the hugest bulk production since the establishment of Cimerwa.

    Apart from the first quarter characterized by upgrading activities, Cimerwa gradually increased production in every quarter of this year. The firm is currently operating at 80% capacity.

    'We need to keep up the momentum and avoid complacency so that we satisfy the market and increase profits,' said Sigei.

    Cimerwa’s profit is mainly attributed to mega construction projects including construction of roads, health centers and over 22,000 classrooms built in different parts of the country in which the firm supplied over 8,000 tons.

    Cimerwa registered a remarkable improvement producing 55,000 tons in July this year breaking record as the hugest bulk production since the establishment.

  • Somalia Severs Diplomatic Ties With Kenya #rwanda #RwOT

    Relationship between Somalia and Kenya has deteriorated as Mogadishu ordered all Kenyan diplomats to leave within seven days.

    Somalia said it has severed diplomatic ties with Kenya citing interference and violation of her sovereignty and territorial integrity.

    Somalia Minister of Information Osman Abukar Dubbe announced cutting ties with Kenya on Tuesday Mogadishu via state-run SNTV,  hours after President Uhuru held talks with break-away Somaliland President Muse Bihi at State House, Nairobi.

    Mogadishu says it will withdraw all its diplomats from Kenya and has ordered Kenyan diplomats to leave the country within 7 days.

    ''Somalia wants all its diplomats to go back to Mogadishu and Kenyan diplomats have 7 days to leave the country,'' said Osman Dubbe.

    He further added that Somalia decided to officially cut diplomatic ties with Kenya because of the latter's frequent 'interference' with her politics and Kenya always wanting to create problems in Somalia.

     

    The escalation of the diplomatic spat which has led to a 'divorce' between Mogadishu and Nairobi comes days after Somaliland President Muse Bihi arrived in Kenya on December 13, for a three-day state visit.

    Somalia and Somaliland on Monday, December 14, engaged in a war of words on Twitter where Mogadishu accused Hargeisa of undermining its sovereignty after a delegation led by President Muse Bihi met President Uhuru Kenyatta at Nairobi's statehouse.

    Somaliland said it was an independent country which had a right to make decisions to strengthen its mutual ties with Kenya, which is also an independent country.

    On November 29, Somalia summoned its envoy to Kenya for ''consultations'', accusing Nairobi of interfering with Mogadishu's electoral process.
