  • Kenya Shilling Loses Ground Against US Dollar #rwanda #RwOT

    For Rwandan traders considering using the Kenyan shilling to purchase goods should know that the Shilling is experiencing a downward performance against the US dollar.

    Financial market observer in Kenya reported that for the second week in row, the Kenya shilling has been losing value.

    On Monday the shilling traded at 109.23 units to the US dollar marking an eleventh straight day of trading the shilling has lost ground against the dollar since touching 108.83 on November 2 and has shed Sh6.81 since March 13 when Kenya reported its first Covid-19 case.

    According to currency experts, the weak shilling is attributed to increased dollar demand and dim outlook for exports in the wake of renewed lockdowns in Europe following a second wave of Covid-19 infections.

    This situation is signaling rising costs of imports of raw and finished goods such as petroleum products, wheat, vegetable oil and motor vehicles.

    In essence the sustained weakening of the Kenyan currency raises the prospects of pushing up living costs in a country that largely depends on imports for its consumer and capital goods, especially fuel and industrial raw materials.

  • Rwanda Ranked 11th In Mo Ibrahim Governance Index 2020 #rwanda #RwOT

    The 2020 edition of the Mo Ibrahim Index of Governance in Africa (IIAG) has ranked Rwanda at 11th place out of 54 selected in terms of good governance with a score of 60.5% of overall points.

    Mauritius ranks the best performer with a top score of 77.2% and is followed by Cape Verde (73.1%) Seychelles (72.3%), Tunisia (70.4%) Botswana (66.9%) South Africa (65.8%), Namibia (65.1%), Ghana (64.3%), Senegal (63.2%) and Morocco (61.0%).

    Meanwhile, Somalia is ranked 54th and last with an index of 19.2%. According to the report, there has been a general slowdown in progress over the past 5 years.

    The 2019 average score for Africa fell for the first time since 2010, while it had either increased or stagnated before. The African average for the Mo Ibrahim Good Governance Index is 48.8 in 2019 compared to 49 out of 100 in 2018, down 0.2 percentage point year over year.

    This situation is due to the deterioration of performance in 3 of the 4 categories of the index. It is about participation, respect for the rights and inclusion of citizens; security and the rule of law; and human development.

    Between 2010 and 2019, the performance of African countries in terms of human development improved by 3% (51.9 out of 100 in 2019) while that in terms of foundations for economic opportunities increased by 4.1 % (47.8 out of 100 in 2019).

    On the other hand, the level of African countries fell by -1.4% in terms of participation, respect for the rights and inclusion of citizens (46.2 out of 100 in 2019), and by -0.7% with regard to security and the rule of law (49.5 out of 100 in 2019). This is due in particular to the political and security crises that have shaken several African countries.

    Created in 2006, the Mo Ibrahim foundation named after its founder, has set itself the mission of promoting good governance in Africa.

    The Mo Ibrahim Foundation defines governance as the provision of political, social, economic and environmental public goods and services that every citizen has the right to expect from their government, and that a government has the responsibility to deliver to its citizens.

  • Rwanda draw with Cape Verde in AFCON 2021 Qualifiers. #rwanda #RwOT

    Rwanda National Team Amavubi’s hopes to make it to AFCON 2022 continued to diminish as they settled for a goalless draw against Cape Verde on Tuesday.

    During Tuesday’s match, both teams started well creating a couple of chances, though they did not materialize those chances and find the back of the net.

    Rwanda’s mountain became harder to climb following Ally Niyonzima’s red card after committing a second bookable offense in the 33rd minute.

    The second half began with a change for the Amavubi, with Vincent Mashami making the first substitution when Medie Kagere was replaced by Kevin Muhire while in the 56th minute Ernest Sugira came on to replace the injured Jacques Tuyisenge.

    The situation did not seem to improve a lot as Cape Verde continued to pile pressure on the hosts, though goalie Olivier Kwizera pulled up in between the posts to keep the second consecutive clean sheet.

    Later, Savio Dominique Nshuti was introduced on the pitch replacing skipper Haruna Niyonzima, and this gave Amavubi strength in attack.

    The 90 minutes of the match ended with no team scoring on the day.

    The development means Amavubi remain bottom of Group F with 2 points gathered from the 4 matches played so far. Cameroon leads the group with 10 points, followed by Cape Verde in the second position with 4 points, while Mozambique is in third position with 3 points.
