Editor,I wish to comment on the article, titled ‘Who will write the next Miracle of Remera’? by Paul Ntambara (The New Times, November 18).Allow me to thank Paul for his great piece.The Ministry of Education needs to encourage students to love arts subjects. What I have seen is that today’s students opt to do science subjects because they are perceived to be more rewarding compared to Arts. But students ought to realise that as a writer, you also lead a decent life and at the same time teach the society. I’m happy because our government is not killing the future of Rwandans like the state in the Betrayal in the CityEugene, Kigali*************************************************** Editor,Professor Francis Davis Imbuga, the playwright who passed away on November, 18 at his Kahawa Sukari home in Nairobi after suffering a stroke, has joined other great poets who passed on long before him.But that’s life.  Paul, stop worrying and instead start writing right away. The seeds of poetry are showing within your writing.ASA Sir, Kicukiro
