Prime Minister Pierre Damien Habumuremyi has called for improvement in service delivery and customer care so as the country’s service sector to improve.
The premier made the call in Northern Province during the presentation of the province’s achievements as of 2011 and 2012 resolutions.
The Rwandan premier was saluted with the greeting depicting the Northern Province, that of peace, tolerance, unity and reconciliation.
The prime minister was flanked by other government officials as they joined residents of that province to celebrate their achievements as of 2011.
The Northern Province according to its governor Bosenibamwe Aime is now boasting of improved security, poverty eradication through land consolidation and best practices in agriculture, multiplying agricultural produce especially coffee, tea, potatoes, beans and maize.
The governor further revealed that more people are now members of different cooperatives adding that the one cow per poor household has registered impressive improvement.
“Our province came first in poverty eradication; agricultural produce has increased 3 fold. Gakenke and Gicumbi districts have been exemplary in coffee production.” He explained.
Prime Minister Pierre Damien Habumuremyi who was the guest of honor said that Rwanda has been recognized globally mostly due to its rapid development, attributing this development to the leadership of President Paul Kagame.
The premier welcomed the achievements realized by the Northern Province but called for more efforts this year especially in service delivery if they aspire more development.
The Prime minister said; “Our desire is that Rwandans work hard, when you work for a few hours; there is a lot of time wasted on unworthy causes. We want these things that lag us behind to change. Our desire is that this issue of customer care can be put to rest; we are singling out the banks, hotels, restaurants, shops, the private sector, ministerial offices all the way to the cell level.”
The prime minister called for increased production of maize and wheat so that processing plants that have been shut down can be revived.
This was echoed by the governor of the Northern Province who said time is ripe for residents of that province to double their efforts and be more competitive because this New Year comes with new performance contracts that have to be implemented.
