Giving information to the public is important

Editor,If I was a media practitioner, I would take on Banque Populaire du Rwanda (BPR) Board Chairman, Afrique Ramba, and ask why he doesn’t go “into details on how bad or low the performance was and the set targets the managers failed to meet”.I would read the Access to Information Law to him and demand that he gives details for the benefit of the bank, the clients, the country and also to justify the sacking of Herman Klaassen, BPR CEO, and his deputy, José Habimana.And if he refused, I would take him to court. We have seen poor services at BPR for a long time and it’s only being accountable and treating us with dignity by giving us full details.Esther Kankindi, Huye ------------------------------------------------------------------ Editor,When shall we ever benefit from our shares, I have never received any dividends. Can anyone explain to me the procedure? I am just a concerned account holder since 2002.And on the resignation, I think this is just due to competition that these guys are failing to cope with; no more monopoly in Rwanda, you need to wake up, if the whole system of service delivery is not revised, you will be out soon.John M, Kigali(Reactions to the article ‘Banque Populaire top management resigns’, The New Times, October 8)
