    Additionally it includes robust security awareness training and regular vulnerability scanning.

    ESICIA LTD CEO, Innocent KANEZA told Taarifa that with the evolution of technology, systems have become more vulnerable to external security threats.

    Hence protecting sensitive information becomes crucial to business growth and ensuring customer trust.  

    'Our customers can continue to use ESICIA's KPAY platform and achieve effortless payment services knowing that their sensitive client data is secure,' Kaneza said.

  • Natwe twese byaranze ! The Ben yaba ageze aharindimuka ? #rwanda #RwOT

    Hari umuhanzi hano uherutse guterura ati 'Natwe twese byaranze, twese twese byaranze ! Inshuti yanjye twarimo tumenaho abiri mu minsi ishize irambwira iti 'ubanza na The Ben bimaze kwanga ahubwo ndabona hakanewe ubukangurambaga bugamije kumurokora kuko arimo kugana aharindimuka’

    Mugisha Benjamin uzwi nka The Ben, umwe mu bazaba bitwa abanyabigwi mu muziki w’u Rwanda mu bihe biri imbere ari kugana aharindimuka kuko hari igikuba cyacitse ahubwo abakunzi b’ibihangano bye bakomeje kumwibazaho byinshi.

    Uyu The Ben yakoze indirimbo ibinyacumi n’ibinyacumi ndetse zigakundwa ku rwego ruri hejuru y’undi muhanzi uwo ariwe wese hano mu Rwanda kugeza ubwo yari asigaye yarasize bagenzi be bo mu Rwanda.

    Muri iyi nkuru ntabwo turagereranya The Ben n’undi muhanzi uwo ariwe wese gusa aho biba ngombwa ko twifashisha ingero zifatika birakorwa ntawe turaba tugamije gutunga urutoki cyangwa kwibasira.

    The Ben wavukiye i Kampala ku wa 9 Mutarama 1988, kuri ubu afatwa nk’umwe mu bahanzi bahagarariye neza u Rwanda ku ruhando mpuzamahanga nk’uko bigaragazwa n’ibikorwa amaze gukora.

    Akagurutse ntikamenya iyo bweze….

    Mu 2008, niwo uyu musore yatangiye umuziki mu buryo bw’umwuga ndetse ntiyatinze kwigarurira imitima y’abanyarwanda abikesha indirimbo zirimo Amahirwe ya nyuma’, 'Rahira’, 'Ese nibyo’, 'Amaso ku maso’, 'Uzaba uza n’izindi nyinshi zabyinywe izindi zigacurangwa biratinda.

    Kugira ngo wumve neza urukundo abanyarwanda bari bamufitiye, mu mwaka ukurikiyeho wa 2009, yateguye igitaramo cye cyo kumurika album ya mbere y’indirimbo 12 yise 'Amahirwe ya mbere’ cyabaye ku wa 1 Kanama ariko kubera umuvundo w’abafana benshi bari bakitabiriye cyaje gufungwa n’inzego z’umutekano kitarangiye.

    Uko gukundwa ntabwo byahagarariye aho kuko indirimbo ze zacuranzwe n’abari imbere mu gihugu ndetse zitangira kurenga imipaka zihereye ku Barundi, Abanyarwanda baba mu mahanga ndetse n’abo mu bindi bihugu baba abumva ikinyarwanda n’abatacyumva ariko baryoherwaga n’injyana y’uyu musore yabaga yacuzwe n’abarimo Lick Lick.

    Byaje gushimangirwa n’igitaramo uyu muhanzi yatumiwemo muri Leta Zunze Ubumwe za Amerika, ku wa 4 Nyakanga 2010, cyari cyiswe 'Urugwiro Conference’ yari yajyanyemo na mugenzi we Meddy, nyuma kirangiye bahitamo kwigumira iyo.

    Icyo gihe The Ben wari umwe nibura mu bahanzi batanu bakunzwe mu Rwanda, yageze muri Amerika akomeza gukora umuziki dore ko yahasanzwe abatunganya umuziki barimo na Lick Lick waje kwerekezayo mu myaka yakurikiyeho.

  • Rwanda encourages more U.S, EU Investments as Private sector strives to recover from COVID 19 impacts #rwanda #RwOT

    By Ange de la Victoire DUSABEMUNGU

    The European Union and the US Embassy in Rwanda have pledged to sustain cooperation with the Government of Rwanda in continuing to promote investment while the country continues to deal with the impact of COVID 19 on economic growth as well as the investment and trade sectors.

    The talks on cooperation between the two partners and the Government of Rwanda were held at the European Business Chamber (EBCR) and American Chamber in Rwanda (AmCham) Webinar with the Chief Executive Officer of  Rwanda Development Board Clare Akamanzi who highlighted how the Government of Rwanda managed the complicated times of COVID 19 and how the recovery programs will need joint effort as the country's economic growth has hardly hit by the pandemic despite positive hopes in the recovery.

    The webinar was attended by Board members for the EU and the American Chambers of Commerce, the EU Ambassador to Rwanda, the US Ambassador to the Rwanda as well as Claire Akamanzi, the CEO of the RDB and 'others.

    In the course of the webinar, the EU Ambassador Nicola Bellomo commends the Government of Rwanda's efforts to combat COVID 19 and the Establishment of the Economic Recovery Fund, which was created to address the impact of the epidemic on the economy and especially on the Private sector.

    Ambassador Bellomo also commends the government and the people of Rwanda for the effective and timely response to COVID 19 adding that 'We as European Union, we are strongly supporting thanks to what we call the team Europe approach the government of Rwanda in the response to this crisis.'

    He added that 'On the social economic response, we also particularly welcome the establishment of the economic recovery fund' while at the same time both partners might also identify through the crises some unseen opportunities with a shared interest in supporting the government of Rwanda in laying the foundation for a stronger and more resilient economic development model.

    On the U.S support, Ambassador Peter Vrooman said that since the beginning of COVID, the United States has been helping Rwanda cope with the epidemic through a variety of recovery support, including in health, the private sector and also contribution to the Recovery Fund.

    Claire Akamanzi comment on the existing measures to promote investment in Rwanda in the face of the global economic crisis, says that the Rwandan government has revised its investment code including facilitating investors through various incentives and this gives hope that the Rwanda's economy will return to normal.

    Madam Akamanzi explains that the new investment code is going to be very catalytic in attracting more investments in Rwanda and the reason for that is that 'we've created an investment code that is very pragmatic and also very much aligned with our performance.'

    She says 'We have new sectors that we are giving incentives like financial services because of the international financial Centre that we're putting in place.'

    Recently, the cabinet meeting led by President Paul Kagame has approved the composition of IFC (International financial Corporation) which is tasked to provide a wide range of investment and advisory services that help businesses and entrepreneurs meet the challenges they face in the marketplace.

    Claire Akamanzi added that this is part of supporting innovation by coming up with seed capital fund in the investments sector.

    'We are also incentivizing industrial park development because it has been a very good source of manufacturing I think if you read the investment code at the draft investment code you see exactly where what to expect to be in terms of economic priorities, because those have been very specifically located incentives.' She noted

    'I am also really excited that we're increasingly seeing companies coming to set up their headquarters in Rwanda, or their regional offices and we've catered for their needs.' Akamanzi told the Webinar

    She commends philanthropic organizations that are looking at Africa and looking for regional offices in Africa.

    Clare Akamanzi also expressed gratitudes to all the chambers (EU and American) and assuring them that RDB is ready to continue to help all investors through various departments including one that has access to information on Investment in Rwanda.

    She says that the US and the European region geographies remained very important sources for investment in Rwanda.

    'So, we're very happy to see that this platform is an added platform for engagement, but on the recovery fund, obviously, first of all, and the whole recovery of our economy.' She noted

    'This year is going to be something that we are learning about as we go on and many of you have followed the economy performance over the last year's 2019 for me was probably the best year you know in our achievements, the economy grew at 9.4% one of the highest in a while our investments reached a record $2.4 billion of investment deals that we registered in Rwanda development Board.

    'We had the biggest growth of tourism at $ 490 million dollars in 2019 and so 2020 for us we started very excited thinking it's going to be a sustained high performance on the economy on tourism and investment and then of course COVID 19 happened and the picture is not as we had expected in January of this year, we expect the economy to contract by point 2% that's the latest projection from IMF' Akamanzi explains.

    The contractions on the economy will happen because of the tough decisions that the government had to take in order to contain COVID 19 which was important.

    'And so, we've seen that the tough decisions that slowed down the economy helped manage better COVID 19 and we're very encouraged when we see how Rwanda is being viewed by the rest of the world in terms of the pandemic control.

    COVID 19 has had a detrimental effect on the country's economy where it has slowed down the existing economy and hit most the private sector and tourism while they are the cornerstone of Rwanda's economy.

    Such discussions are hopefully to play a role in reminding investors that Rwanda is still the best place to bring investment as a fresh and growing market destination.

  • Act now to invest in nature or face biodiversity collapse and further pandemics, 'Wildlife Conservation 20' warns G20 #rwanda #RwOT

     

    • 'WC20' gathers 20 leading conservation groups ahead of G20 Leaders' Summit
    • COVID-19 highlights need for urgent action, joint declaration warns
    • Investing in nature costs a fraction of pandemic response while driving green jobs and tackling climate change.

    A new initiative involving 20 of the world's leading conservation organisations today issued an unprecedented joint declaration to the G20 calling for urgent action to invest in nature to protect biodiversity and reduce the risk of future pandemics.

    World leaders gathering in Riyadh this weekend have an unparalleled opportunity to build into COVID-19 economic recovery long-lasting action to conserve planetary health and reset human interactions with nature. 

    While the exact source of the virus remains uncertain, scientists agree that just like HIV, Ebola, SARS, Bird Flu, and MERS, COVID-19 is zoonotic: it jumped from animals to people, likely as a result of our increasing interaction with wildlife. 

    The pandemic, which has killed 1.3 million people to date and affected hundreds of millions more, stands as one of the starkest and most urgent warnings yet that our current relationship with nature is unsustainable. 

    Investment in nature — including ending deforestation, controlling the wildlife trade, and enhancing livelihoods of people living in or depending on natural landscapes — is not a luxury to consider alongside pandemic recovery, the WC20 said. 

    Protecting biodiversity is perhaps the most important component of government recovery plans that will significantly reduce the risk of future pandemics and avoid similar or greater human, economic, and environmental harm. 

    The cost of these investments is a fraction of the estimated $26 trillion in economic damage COVID-19 has already caused. By one recent estimate, $700 billion a year would reverse the decline in biodiversity by 2030. That's about one-fortieth the cost of the economic fallout from the current pandemic. 

    Much of this does not need to be new money. A significant proportion of this investment could come from redirecting existing harmful financing, for example in subsidies that encourage deforestation and environmental destruction. 

    Investing in planetary health including directing climate finance towards nature-based solutions drives green growth and green jobs, and takes us a long way towards tackling the effects of climate change and meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement on climate. 

    With lives and livelihoods adversely affected by COVID-19 across the globe, there is public consensus and support as never before for governments to act now to protect and re-establish a healthier relationship with nature.

    This is the watershed moment that prompted the formation of the Wildlife Conservation 20, or WC20, uniting 20 of the most prominent conservation NGOs at the forefront of protecting wildlife and ecosystems. 

    The WC20 represents the voice of this conservation community, which has come together to articulate the steps needed to seize this unprecedented opportunity. 

    In a joint statement, the WC20 said: 'COVID-19 has been a wake up call to everyone on this planet. Now is the time to value and invest in nature by developing sustainable nature-based economic stimulus packages that embrace a One Health approach and address long-term planetary health, food security, poverty alleviation, climate change, and biodiversity loss and work towards achieving the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.

    'That is why the WC20 calls on the G20 nations to implement greater investment in addressing this critical present imbalance with nature. Otherwise, the natural world, on which we all rely, will not be safeguarded for the long-term well-being and security of current and future human generations, and for all life on earth.' 

    Ahead of the G20 Leaders' Summit on 21 and 22 November in Riyadh, Space for Giants and ESI Media on 19 November hosted a high-level virtual summit of CEOs and senior executives from the WC20 to agree a joint declaration identifying priority actions for world leaders. 

    'Covid-19 is a terrible, terrible reminder of what can happen if we don't respect nature, and there are many other signs, in loss of species, in deforestation, in pollution,' said Dr Max Graham, CEO of Space for Giants. 

    'This really is a watershed moment when public opinion is massively supportive of the G20 governments taking the measures needed to protect wildlife and the natural world. They can also act and know that it's cheaper to invest in nature to reduce the risk of pandemics, than to deal with the awful economic fallout they cause.' 

    The full text of the Declaration is available at spaceforgiants.org/WC20. In summary, the WC20's recommendations are:

    • Policy and Implementation: Strengthen, sufficiently resource, and implement existing international and domestic legislation, and enact new legislation, to ensure the legal, sustainable, and traceable use of natural resources including wildlife, that no longer threatens human or animal health.
    • Law Enforcement: Scale up financial and technical support for law enforcement in key wildlife source states, transit hubs and destination countries/territories. Adopt a collaborative, multi-disciplinary approach to help create an effective deterrent to wildlife crime.
    • Safeguard Natural Ecosystems: Secure government support, adequate finances, and technical expertise to effectively protect and manage natural ecosystems and wildlife so that they are valued and safeguarded, and become generators of economic wealth, and commit to scale this up to 30% of land and sea over the coming decade.
    • Support Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities: Recognise and respect the rights of IPLCs living within and/or depending on natural ecosystems, to improve human well-being, alleviate the pressures of human-wildlife coexistence, and reduce, halt, and reverse the loss of natural habitats and the associated wildlife they hold. 
    • Reduce Demand: Work with government authorities, stakeholders, civil society, and major influencers to inform the public about the dangers of zoonotic spillovers and how to lower their risks. Raise public awareness about, and reduce demand for, illegally and/or unsustainably exploited wildlife and their products.

  • Twitter Plans To Handover Presidential @POTUS Account To Joe Biden #rwanda #RwOT

    Twitter will hand control of the presidential @POTUS account to Joe Biden when he is sworn in on inauguration day, even if President Donald Trump has not conceded his election loss, US media reported Friday.

    The social media giant is 'actively preparing to support the transition of White House institutional Twitter accounts on January 20th, 2021,' Twitter spokesperson Nick Pacilio said.

    The process is being done in consultation with the National Archives, as it was in 2017, he said. The handover will see all existing tweets on @POTUS, as well as @FLOTUS, @VP and other official accounts, archived.

    The accounts will then be reset to zero tweets and transferred to the incoming Biden White House that day.

    Trump, who still has not conceded his November 3 loss, used Twitter to help build his political brand and, later, wield the power of the presidency — though he mainly uses his personal account, @realDonaldTrump, whose 88 million followers dwarf @POTUS's 32 million.

    The @POTUS account is largely used to retweet Trump's personal account as well as the White House and other accounts. Trump's frequent habit of abruptly announcing new policies on the platform has led to long-standing complaints of governing by tweet.

    Twitter has long come under pressure to curb the president's use of the site to spread misinformation and conspiracy theories.

    Since the election the company has slapped warning labels on many Trump tweets as he continues to insist, despite evidence to the contrary, that he won the vote, and that Biden's victory is down to massive fraud.

    Biden, for his part, is a far more sedate Twitter user. He has sent less than 7,000 tweets to his 19 million followers, compared to Trump's 58,000.

    Hundreds of Bannyahe slum residents in a small corner of one of Kigali's elite suburbs were by Friday still camped on site as a means to register their complaints of unfair expropriation.

    In 2017, about 800 residents were asked to evacuate from the slum for a real estate investor to construct facilities of public and community interest as required by land lease agreements between government and land holders.

    The victims of this expropriation wished to be compensated by cash and not relocated to conjoined housing at an estate in Busanza, Nyarugunga sector,  Kicukiro district — Kigali. The new Busanza housing project comprises of over 1,000 units.

    Yotamu Ntivuguruzwa says, 'It may be hard to start a new life. My wife visited the place and we agreed to shift even if the new house is small.'

    However, the city of Kigali has appeared in different court sessions as it defends itself in dozens of cases appealing against unfair expropriation.
