The National Electoral Commission of Rwanda (NEC) has organised an Open Day for the public from March 13-15 aimed at celebrating 12 years of achievements.
The Executive Secretary, Charles Munyaneza said that the day will be held on March 13 where the public will be able to visit NEC headquarters in Kiagli. Those expected are members of the general public, diplomats, Government officials, civil society and the media among others.
“The public will visit some departments and also erect stands from where NEC staff will orient visitors about NEC activities,” Munyaneza says adding that the Open Day will bring together stakeholders that have been working with the Commission during the past elections.
During this event, NEC will register those who have never registered to vote especially as we prepare for next year’s parliamentary elections. “We shall also showcase a documentary about NEC achievements in the past 12 years” he notes.
On March, 15 NEC will conduct field activities with volunteers and donate cows to poor households in different districts to support the One Cow per Family Programme (Girinka). They also participate in community work by cleaning genocide sites.
The activities, Munyaneza, says are one way of the Commission getting closer to the people, more so to appreciate their cooperation exhibited during the last elections.
