Editor,I would like to extend my sincere thanks to President Paul Kagame for his recent visit to the Eastern province. Since he announced his plan to visit the province and up to the time he visited, things really changed. I don’t know whether leaders at all levels remember to be active only when the President announces a tour. To my surprise I have seen what I have never seen before. When the information fell into the ears of these district leaders, I can say they realised how inactive they have been. It was not surprising to meet the mayor at a resident’s door just to iron out the problem they had ignored. People, it wasn’t easy before for a local resident to meet the district mayor but when mayors heard that the president has started his tour, it was the other way round. Besides that, hygiene became the order of the day. All roads that had turned bushy suddenly became clean. I have witnessed how active some of the districts in this province are where the president is yet to visit. I wish the President just keeps announcing visits even if he doesn’t make it. Vision 2020 can be achieved by 2015! Once again thank you . UNATEK
