Records don’t lie, just like hips. Records never lie, and because of that, my invaluable work in the name (and for the love) of the Kigali Convention Centre Complex is there for all to see, even before it’s officially unleashed upon us.

Yea, Convention Centre Complex to the world …

That’s right – Kigali Convention Centre Complex, not Kigali Convention Centre. Although there’s such a thing as the Kigali Convention Centre, this is only part of a larger, more ambitious scheme of things –the Kigali Convention Centre Complex.

For this reason, The New Times should appoint me its Chief Convention Complex correspondent, the way that my colleague Peterson Tumwebaze from the Business Desk has come to ‘monopolize’ reportage of RwandAir’s ever expanding success and growth portfolio.

Whenever there is an event involving the President, First Lady or big international CEOs and investors, my bosses at The New Times always choose people like Athan Tashobya and Collins Mwai over me, so I believe that the Convention Centre Complex should now be my own turn to "eat”, so to speak.

Still with Convention Deals, if you want to be in, then just par with me, because I’m something of a two-legged encyclopedia on Convention Centre deals.

The only problem with these hot deals is that they are not meant for those with self-doubt. Doubting Thomases will sadly walk away empty-handed on this one.

To clinch a KCC deal, one must first believe that yes, YOU can:

Like the young artists and creatives who believed that they could, while the rest of us cowered under our self-doubt. These young Rwandan singers and actors and dancers and instrumentalists clinched deals at WEF –Africa 2016, entertaining and wowing high profile international guests at the forum’s cultural soiree, so why shy away from the obviously much bigger and brighter prospect of Convention Centre deals?

But first things first:

Roland Dieterle, a German architect designed the Kigali Convention Complex way back in 2004.

But that should not mislead you into doubting yourself and undermining your own potential to partake of the numerous other deals and business spin-offs on offer.

If anything, the facility majestically and effortlessly strides the Kimihurura-Kacyiru creative hub, and I don’t possibly see how some of the smaller, art-related deals to do with interior art décor will escape some of the pushers and tight-rope walkers of our contemporary and visual art scenes.

Actually as I type this, I’m probably in the possession of more pointed info in this regard, but I won’t drop names because that would be free advertising, yet my motto is "something for something, nothing for nothing”

That said, be rest assured that I know a few smart and quick-footed young Rwandan creative heads whose more masterful pieces will actually adorn some of the Convention Complex walls.
