Ntawukuriryayo rallies Gakenke, Burera residents

GAKENKE - The Social Democratic Party (PSD) Presidential candidate, Dr. Jean Damascene Ntawukuriryayo, yesterday said that once he wins the upcoming elections, his government will ensure all parties are included in administration from the grassroots to the national level. Speaking at a rally at Nemba Stadium, Gakenke District, Ntawukuriryayo said that the kind of democracy that gives freedom to opposition parties will be maintained.“I will ensure that the inter-party committee operates from all levels, from national level to sector and cell levels,’’ Ntawukuriryayo said. The supporters thronged the stadium, carrying placards and singing party songs. As soon as the candidate arrived, they broke into chants, dance and music. If voted into power, he said, he will ensure improved standards of living among Rwandans; “the party will also focus on improving social and economic development.” “To achieve this, we will first deal with family planning in every household.’’ Dr. Ntawukuriryayo promised to transform the agricultural sector by ensuring that the quality of production is improved and small scale industries are established to enrich the rural communities. “Literacy levels will at least reduce to 10 % during my term in office,’’ he added. He challenged residents to ensure proper sanitation and hygiene in homes in order to reduce diseases which have been rampant in the area. Earlier, he had campaigned in Burera District, where he reiterated his promise to double teachers’ salaries in the first two years of his term and the setting up of a nursery school in every village in the country.
