We have been warned, so what happens next?

Just in case the ministers in charge of commerce and energy do not have access to news from Kenya, they would be advised to do so immediately. Kenya is our main lifeline and should therefore be the centre of our undivided attention; because whenever there is a crisis like the post election violence last year, it is inland countries like ours that suffer the most. Now another crisis– however not violent– is looming and the ministers mentioned above would be well advised to pay attention. Kenya has announced that it will shut its oil refinery in the coastal town of Mombasa in June for maintenance purposes. Though the Kenyan authorities did not say how long the refinery will be out of operation, the news does not auger well with Rwanda.
