The chairman of Social Democratic Party (PSD) Dr. Vincet Biruta has urged party members to pay their contributions on time since the delay is pulling back the party’s ambitions.
He was addressing the party’s senior leaders in annual end of year meeting meant to review their challenges and areas that require improvement.
Biruta also called for better management of PSD property amounting to Frw 50 million, “we have a building in Kimihurura which we rent offices, the revenue is used to facilitate our activities that’s why it needs proper care,” he said.
The PSD political party also uses the revenues to build capacity among its members. “We have been training district representatives on better political lessons and next year we want to equip the youth with entrepreneurship skills.
PSD party’s branches in various districts have opened bank accounts through which members channel their contributions.
Mariam Ayinkamiye the PSD vice president in Bugesera district noted that most of the contributions are used for party’s activities. especially last year’s presidential campaign.
“However, we lack an office making it hard to conduct party activities in an organized manner. However, Iam hopeful that if party members contribute on time we can build our own bureau. Ordinary members pay only Frw50 while leaders pay Frw 3000 monthly. We have over 200 members,” Ayinkamiye insisted.
Biruta also challenged officials whom up to now have not presented tangible reports on how they used the party’s finances during the recent presidential elections period.
