Religious leaders and officials from the Ministry of Local Government have discussed ways of how good governance can involve the clergy.
The meeting which took several hours looked at religious leaders can play a key role in the implementation of good governance principles in the country.
The country is now in the month of good governance aimed at instilling and discussing and understanding good governance.
“The religious leaders pledged to embark on an awareness campaign to enable Rwandans understand the country’s development programmes, such as family planning, education and other social affairs,” the statement reads.
Participants commended the country’s efforts in fast tracking the development process but called for more enhancement of better service delivery.
“Be part of the country’s development process,” James Musoni, the Minister of Local Government, urged the religious leaders.
Musoni stated that the leaders should play a key role in supporting the government to realize its development agenda.
The meeting condemned those who don’t participate in the country’s development programmes on the pretext that they contravened their religious beliefs.
