If your car is dirty, don’t enter Kigali

Of recent there have been spates of controversial regulations put up by the City of Kigali that have not gone down well with some members of the public. Most of the instructions are put into practice only to be rescinded over public uproar, but the city always has another surprise up its sleeve. The latest is a crackdown on dirty cars. The police will pull you up if your car is dirty and write you a hefty ticket. The regulation becomes quite ridiculous when you try to enforce it in the rainy season and most roads are muddy.
