Prioritise infrastructure at Kigali Special Economic Zone

The government has assured investors that all infrastructure bottlenecks such as water, electricity and internet connectivity at the Kigali Special Economic Zone in Nyandungu will soon be fixed. This is a very positive message. As industry minister Francois Kanimba, who made the assurance, pointed out, there would be no point of establishing a special economic zone without basic facilities to enable investors set up shop and embark on production. After all the decision to relocate industries from their current home in Gikondo to Nyandungu was informed by the need to provide a better planned environment – fully equipped with all amenities any investor would need to operate cheaply and efficiently.
