Editor,

It is of utmost importance that Rwanda has joined the EAC. However the way to go is still long. The fact for our country is now a member of this organisation is not enough. We as Rwandans have to do our best and improve some of our ways of doing things for better integration.

One of these ways is to improve our languages especially English and  Swahili since these two languages are the most used in East African Community.

It is on these grounds that I send my suggestion to Rwandan stakeholders to look for competent people in these languages and reward them so that they may in return train their fellow Rwandans.
