Made-in-Rwanda: Govt to review procurement law
The law on public procurement is set for review as one of the strategies to boost products that are made in Rwanda. According to the Minister for Trade, Industry, and East African Community Affairs, Francois Kanimba, the existing law has seen imported products gain an upper hand, consequently increasing the trade deficit.
