Is a high population good for Rwanda?

“It’s not good for the Rwandan population to increase because the more the people, the more the problems since development can be slowed down.”  Joan Ingabire, Kicukiro resident. “The Rwandan population should be controlled otherwise if people increase in number, the environment is negatively affected and pollution would increase.” Allan Ndahiro, Kanombe Resident.

"Rwanda is a land-locked country with limited natural resources. This means that we have to depend more on our human resource as an asset meaning that he should be more vigilant on population issues.”

Mubarak Bahizi, Businessman.


 "Already, the population is high enough and if it increases yet land is still the same size, we shall be faced with more problems in the long-run.”

Theogene Ndahimana, Businessman.
