Rwanda doesn’t have specific set of rules, learns from past experience, says Paul Kagame

While addressing a gathering of more than 300 business experts and entrepreneurs in North Carolina’s Charlotte, Rwanda’s President, Paul Kagame said that his country has put behind the tragedies of the past decades to shape a better future. He stated that the nation has ‘no specific set of rules that have guided her development blueprint.’

“We don’t allow ourselves to get lost in our tragedies because if you do that, that is where you stay. The lessons should be able to inform as to how we shape our future,” the 61-year old former military leader opined at an event hosted by HIINGA, a Christian Investment Fund, as reported by The New Times.

“There are silver linings, people emerge and aspire for a much better future than they have experienced,” Paul Kagame said. “We don’t follow rules, we follow choices. There is no rule book for us. If things work for us, we celebrate. If they don’t, we don’t blame anybody. We look back and ask where did we go wrong? We do not make other people’s mistakes. We have had relationship where people come and tell you what to do and when things go wrong it’s on you, and they turn around and blame you for it,” Rwanda’s Head of State added.

As a Christian economic development organization, HIINGA looks forward to creating jobs by pumping out funds among the African entrepreneurs through the funding of micro, small and medium enterprise companies. On the other hand, HIINGA is also known for joining hands with the local government and churches to cater to the needs of farmers through savings, credit, financial literacy, agricultural training and leadership development.
