  • Rwanda: Brides to be in dilemma as Government bans Wedding ceremonies following the rise of COVID 19 Cases #rwanda #RwOT

    Brides who were planning a wedding this weekend say banning wedding ceremonies has put them in a loss while still finding that there could be regulations governing the event in order to prevent COVID 19

    Their reactions came after a cabinet meeting on December 14, 2020 decided to cancel the wedding ceremonies until further notice.

    Some are saying that they have not yet made up their mind about what to do but still thinking on getting married.

    'My husband is a foreigner who came to Rwanda for a wedding and we are going to get married. Now will he go back unmarried, will he come back?' one told a local media

    The young man who was supposed to be engaged in legal affairs in Nyagatare sector on Thursday, whom Kigali Today named Mugabo Paul, said he is going to think about what he should do in these circumstances.

    'Wedding is money, I prepared everything for the people who provided me with financial support, I can't give their money back because I used it. I'm going to talk to Fiancé and see what can be done.'

    Although there are indications that they have been hampered by these measures, on the other hand it was necessary as the government has taken steps to reduce the severity of Covid-19, as it appears that these days the death toll from it had continued to rise sharply.

  • Rwanda’s GDP decreases by 3.6 percent in third quarter #rwanda #RwOT

    The third quarter looks promising for economic recovery compared to the second quarter which recorded 12.4% decrease compared to the same period last year.

    The decrease is mostly attributed to difficult times of COVID-19 pandemic which affected the world in all aspects of life.

    'Services continue to lead in terms of shares to GDP with 48% compared to 26% and 19% shares for agriculture and industry respectively. The remainder 8% is attributed to net taxes on products. In this quarter, estimates calculated in 2017 prices show that GDP decreased 3.6 percent compared to the same quarter of 2019.

    Agriculture increased by 2% and contributed 0.5 percentage points to overall GDP. Within agriculture, food crops production increased by 3%. Export crops decreased by 8% mainly due to 21% drop in tea production and 6% drop in coffee production.

    Among others, Industry dropped by 1% and contributed -0.3 percentage points to the GDP drop. The main contributor to the drop in the industry sector was Construction activities which dropped by 6% and Mining and quarrying which dropped by 24%.

  • Rwandans urged to adhere to new, existing COVID-19 preventive measures #rwanda #RwOT

    RNP spokesperson, CP John Bosco Kabera, while appearing of Rwanda Television on Tuesday, December 15, said that some people comply when forced or only for fear of being arrested.

    The Cabinet meeting held on Monday, December 14, set new measures in response to the fight against further spread of the COVID-19, most of which took effect on December 15.

    The new measures include prohibited movements between 9pm and 4am (with exception of Musanze District where movements are prohibited between 7pm and 4pm) effective December 15 to 21st.

    With effect from December 22 up to January 4, movements will be prohibited from 8pm to 4am. All social gatherings including wedding ceremonies and celebrations of all kinds are now prohibited in both public and private settings; meetings and conferences should not exceed 30 percent of the venue capacity while event organizers must comply with COVID-19 prevention measures. A certificate for negative negative test for COVID-19 will, however, be required for all participants.

    Meetings and conferences in Musanze are suspended for the next three weeks.
    Offices of public and private institutions will operate at 30 percent capacity; other employees will continue working from home on a rotational basis.

    Public transport will now operate at 50 percent capacity in compliance with COVID-19 prevention measures; services at places of worship shall operate once a week with no more than 50 percent of maximum occupancy, except in Musanze when attendance is at 30 percent maximum occupancy.

    Funerals should not exceed 50 persons but the maximum number is 30 persons in Musanze; the maximum number at the vigil is 15 persons at a time; gyms and swimming pools have been closed with related services only allowed for tested hotel residents; football competitions and training suspended except for national teams and clubs involved in international competitions.

    The Minister of Health, Dr Daniel Ngamije warned that the new directives can be revised and tightened further any time, if people don’t adhere to health guidelines.
    The Cabinet directives emphasized the critical importance of complying with the health measures including physical distancing, wearing facemask and hand washing, warning of penalties for non-compliance.

    All other existing measures and guidelines remain in force.

    On the specific measures for Musanze, Dr. Ngamije said that this was informed by the increase in infections in the district.

    “In our random testing, we found that at least 13 percent of those tested were positive; any positive cases beyond 10 percent in random testing raises concern that requires immediate and relatively tougher measures,” Minister Ngamije said.

    Meanwhile, CP Kabera reminded all Rwandans to comply for own safety from catching COVID-19 or spreading it.

    'Complying because you are being watched or for fear of being arrested will not save you from getting infected. Fear the COVID-19 not the Police,” CP Kabera said.

    He explained that Police officers across the country continue to work with other relevant entities such as local leaders and youth volunteers to enforce the directives, including awareness, arresting and penalising violators.

    “It’s a combination of education and enforcement. We urge people to continue sharing information on violators; bars, restaurants and hotels that hide under their permitted services to sell alcohol; people turning their homes into bars or holding events and other prohibited gatherings.

    If a hotel allows people, who are not their residents, to access their gym and swimming pool services, the owner or management will be held accountable including likely closure of the facility.”
