President Paul Kagame urged public officials to regularly assess their performance and improve how they serve citizens, stating that their decisions impact ordinary people. Kagame spoke on Friday, October 30, during the swearing-in of four senior officials at Village Urugwiro in Kigali.
The newly sworn-in officials include Julienne Uwacu as Minister of Public Service and Labour, Judith Uwizeye moving to the Senate, Claudette Mukashyaka as Auditor General of State Finances, and Gratien Kubwimana as Deputy Auditor General. Kagame stated that changes in responsibilities should prompt leaders to examine past performance and identify areas for improvement.
The president emphasized that this self-reflection should extend to all individuals with government responsibilities, regardless of whether they are taking on new roles or continuing existing ones. He stressed that public service should be evaluated by its impact on others, not solely by the positions held.
