The establishments are Cuppa Coffee in Downtown, Nyarugenge District, Cincinnati and Miami Family in Niboyi and Gikondo, respectively, both in Kicukiro District.

At Cuppa Coffee, authorities, on Friday, found 21 youngsters holding a birthday party in a congested room.

Birthday parties and other social gatherings are prohibited in this fragile period of COVID-19.

At Miami Family owned by one Emmanuel Minani, authorities found 14 people in a social gathering drinking at about 8 PM, the time when everyone was supposed to be home.

Nine people were also found drinking at Cincinnati bar owned by one Alphier Bizimana.

Bars are among the businesses that are still closed.

Innocent Iyakaremye, the manager at Cuppa Coffee regretted allowing the group of youth to hold the birthday party for their colleague at the facility.

Cuppa Coffee proprietor, Damien Sibomana wondered why his manager went against the clear directives.

“The government directives are clear and in addition to that, I also personally gave them instructions against any parties, to allow not more than 35 people inside, clients to wash hands before entering and to ensure that they sit according to the sitting arrangement organized in respect of social distancing,” Sibomana said.

He added: “We invest our money in these businesses and violating the given instructions can hurt the business. My manager probably looked at his interest but not the general interest of business and above all, the safety of the people.”

Nyarugenge District Executive Administrator, Emmy Ngabonziza emphasized that any business found operating contrary to the safety guidelines will face severe consequences, including closure.

“Parties or social gatherings are prohibited; it’s our role as local leaders in partnership with Rwanda National Police and hospitality establishments to ensure that everything is done in compliance with the directives,” Ngabonziza said

“Most of these social gatherings are organized or involve the young people, who, as we know, are among the majority infected with COVID-19. We, therefore, urge the young generation to value and protect their lives by ensuring maximum compliance.”

He further mentioned the role of parents and guardians to educate their children on the pandemic and the safety guidelines to prevent them from engaging in such risky events.

Some of those found holding a birthday party are as young as 15 years.

Owners or managers of hospitality establishments, he said, should take the lead to ensure that nothing contrary to the directives is conducted in their facilities.

RNP spokesperson, CP John Bosco Kabera cautioned that the “warning period is over; it’s time for immediate action to violators.”

“The directives are very clear and have been elaborated even to those who seem not to have understood them. We ought to know that the pandemic is still in our midst and it kills.

Social events or gatherings are prohibited, bars are closed, everyone should be home by 7 PM, wearing of facemask is not an option when you leave your home. It is now time for immediate repercussion to errand violators but not just issuing caution,” CP Kabera said.

He took time to also warn those, who might use their private vehicles and motorcycles to transport people out of Kigali at a fee, and contrary to the directives, to other parts of the country.

“Any vehicle or motorcycle found transporting people beyond Kigali, contrary to the new directive, will be impounded for a long time and driver or rider severely penalized,” CP Kabera warned.

He advised the public on proper planning to avoid unnecessary movements, adding that those who brag for violating the directives or post their photos on social media platforms are not doing any good but rather influencing bad attitudes and actions especially among the young people, which will not be entertained.

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.

Foods, rice, cooking oil, maize flour, sugar, and salt, as well as hygiene items including soaps, sanitary pads, and masks, were provided to the families.

The beneficiaries include families with people living with HIV. The items were handed over to Kabuye Health Center in Jabana Sector which is regularly monitoring them.
Those who take antiviral drugs are among the most affected by Covid-19 and the medications they take require proper nutrition.

CSDI Director-General Leon Pierre, said they were already working in the Sector, seeking funding to provide them with food after realizing that their livelihoods had stalled.

It is an initiative of CSDI in partnership with the AIDS Healthcare Foundation, AHF, which already works with 30 health centers across the country.

Director of AHF in Rwanda, Dr. Brenda Kateera Asiimwe, said the support is in line with their plan to deliver food to people living with HIV in the health centers they work with.

“Today we have helped CSDI deliver food and other items to the community but we are usually working with 30 Health Centers. We are also supporting them to deliver food to those affected by Covid-19 especially those with HIV and other people in need. ”

One of the recipients of the grant said it has come in handy because the ARV drugs they take need a person to eat well.

The donation is valued at $ 12,000 (over Rwf11.6 million).
