  • French Cyclist Wins 2nd Stage Of Tour de France #rwanda #RwOT

    Julian Alaphilippe a French national peddled 186km to the finish line ahead of other cyclists winning the second stage of the Tour de France. He took the overall leader’s yellow jersey on Sunday.

    The tough race which begun in a low key saw Norwegian national scoop the first stage on Saturday and simultaneously walking to the podium and taking the yellow jersey but has not been able to defend it through the second stage on Sunday.

    In the Second stage of the tour which is strictly under the observance of anti Covid-19 measures saw Swiss Marc Hirschi taking the second place with Briton Adam Yates coming home third on Sunday.

    Almost 176 cyclists are taking part in this prestigious cycling race that is closely followed by cycling enthusiasts from over 190 countries.

    In Sunday’s Stage 2, riders thankfully raced under bright, clear skies, but the crashes continued in a stage with the fourth-most climbing (4,000 meters) of the entire 2020 Tour.

    Two examples: Jumbo-Visma’s Tom Dumoulin got chopped by an Ineos Grenadiers rider on a climb, and EF Pro Cycling’s dark horse Dani Martinez slid out on a tight corner on the penultimate descent.

    Dumoulin remounted quickly and lost no time.

    Martinez, after a furious chase to re-catch the peloton, was then dropped on the final climb and finished 3:38 down.

    It’s a bruised and banged-up peloton that will leave Nice, France, on Monday morning, but they won’t get much respite.

    In this weird, wild Tour de France, the predictable (Julian Alaphilippe’s Stage 2 win) only underscores that so much is unpredictable (Lotto-Soudal, down to just six riders, is dead-last in the teams competition).

  • COVID-19: Govt changes working hours #rwanda #RwOT

    The decision was taken during a cabinet meeting on August 26, 2020 to ensure that the activities of the Public Sector will continue while respecting prevention measures of the COVID-19 pandemic, but that each level of government is required to employ no more than 30% of all employees, leaving others to work from home and later take turns going to the office.

    The Minister of Public Service and Labor, Rwanyindo Kayirangwa Fanfan, addressed a letter to all Ministers, Secretaries of State, Director General of the Rwanda Development Board (RDB) and the Ministry of Mines, Petroleum and Gas, on of August 29, 2020, indicating that something needed to be changed.

    The decision was taken on the basis of an audit conducted at all levels of government from July 30 to August 4, 2020 to ensure compliance with the COVID-19 epidemic prevention guidelines, which indicate that “Only 38 out of 121 audited agencies complied with the required number at the time.”

    MIFOTRA called on all government agencies to “publish a list of staff assigned to work in the office and home based workers and when the Department rules that take they will be taking turns, this will help the authorities to ensure that no more than 30% of the workforce in the office as mentioned”

    “Suspension of the use of the fingerprint machine or the signature of the staff and any other means of controlling the spread of the pandemic, to control the productivity of employees, both office workers and home based workers” said Minister Rwanyindo.

    She also urged them to continue to sensitize staff and government agencies to make better use of ICT in providing the services they need.

    Kayirangwa urges them to “make it easier for Public Transport Workers to get to and from work, to return home at 03:00 PM so that they can reach their homes before 7:00 PM.”

    Normally, government staff worked from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. MIFOTRA also called on the Ministry in particular to monitor the implementation of the COVID-19 epidemic prevention measures.

    Rwanyindo called on the Ministries to play a role in preventing COVID-19.

  • MTN Rwanda Suspends Advertising #rwanda #RwOT

    Covid-19 pandemic has virtually disrupted every business in Rwanda and could not leave out the telecoms although they have kept their revenue figures in the past six months tightly guarded.

    “We are going to suspend commercial advertising for the four weeks,” MTN Rwanda said in a statement on Monday.

    The telecom company also said this was part of navigating the ‘New Normal’,  “MTN is committing its September 2020 marketing resources to support efforts against Covid-19 in markets the telecom operates.”

    At the beginning of August, MTN joined Rwanda Biomedical Centre and the Rwanda National Police in raising awareness of the importance of Covid-19 preventive measures.

    “If we are going to win a war against Covid-19, we shall need to work together to change behaviours, protect each other and flatten the curve faster,” said MTN Rwanda Chief Executive Officer, Mitwa Ng’ambi.

  • Yara donates 2,500 tons of fertilizer to rice, maize farmers in Rwanda #rwanda #RwOT

    The grant was delivered on August 28, 2020, to help farmers get the current crop growth season 2020 C in full swing.

    Yara’s representative in Rwanda, Peter Ngugi, said they would help farmers to ensure that at least the growing season ends when they have planted as planned.

    “Today the world economy is in turmoil yet agriculture is the source of livelihood. When neglected we end up starving. In this regard, we have provided these additives to make it easier for maize and rice farmers to cultivate on time. ”

    Dr. Karangwa Patrick, Director of the RAB said the grant was made at the right time.
    “It’s great support that Yara has given farmers. We’re very grateful to them for supporting the maize and rice farmers,” he said.

    Some representatives of the farmers’ cooperatives who attended the event told IGIHE that they were very happy with the support provided.

    Kayitesi Francine, the head of the COMSS Cooperative in Kicukiro District, who had a smile on her face, thanked Yara for their support as they coped with the effects of Coronavirus.

    These cooperative leaders also say that many farmers have already realized the importance of using industrial fertilizers.

    Murwabashyaka Simon, a member of the KORIKA Rice Cooperative in Gasabo District, said that 95% of their cooperatives have already learned about the importance of industrial fertilizers.

    “Before, there were those who thought it was a waste of money for them. They have come to realize the difference now.”

    Statistics show that in Rwanda about 70% of the population is engaged in subsistence farming. This suggests that disrupted agriculture could have a serious impact on the country’s food security. Yara’s representative in Rwanda, Peter Ngugi, said they would help farmers to ensure that at least the growing season ends when they have planted as planned. A Norwegian Fertilizer Company, Yara, through Yara Africa has delivered to the RAB a subsidy of 2,500 tones of industrial fertilizer for maize and rice farmers. The grant was delivered on August 28, 2020, to help farmers get the current crop growth season 2020 C in full swing.
