Kagame urges BNR to modernise operations

NYARUGENGE - President Paul Kagame has called on the staff of the National Bank of Rwanda to be result-oriented and modernise their operations if the bank is to compete favourably within the East African Community and beyond.Kagame was speaking to Central Bank staff during his impromptu visit to the bank’s premises yesterday morning.President Kagame urged the employees of the bank to always evaluate their performance and be accountable when executing their duties to produce tangible results. Speaking to the over 450 workers taken by surprise by his visit, Kagame said that it’s necessary for government employees to do a ‘balancing act’ before they could demand for salary increments.He was responding to queries raised by the bank’s employees about the salary structure which does not consider the amount of effort an employee puts into work but rather emphasises on experience and time the person has spent working at the bank.
