Veteran journalist Museminari Muyango seeks Nyagatare council seat
The 68-year-old, who lives in Humure village, says he will consult residents and push for bank loans for farmers in the district.
Museminari Marcel Muyango, a veteran journalist aged 68, is seeking election as General Councillor for Nyagatare district and has told Taarifa Rwanda he wants to bring tangible change to its management. He lives in Humure village, Rwisirabo cell, Karangazi sector, and says leadership is about responsibility rather than prestige.
He says he will consult residents, listen to them and stay close to the people. Nyagatare is a border district that hosts one of Rwanda's fast-growing secondary cities and is known for large-scale animal husbandry and irrigation farming. Museminari says he wants modern agriculture with irrigation, processing and markets, and promises to lobby for farmers to access bank loans to harvest crops or when dairy milk payments are delayed.
His manifesto also commits to training youth and women, zero tolerance for corruption, simpler services and good schools, health centres, clean water, electricity and roads. He dismissed suggestions that his promises are mere campaign rhetoric, calling them a promise to work.
Why it mattersFarmers in Nyagatare, as Museminari describes it, would gain help from lobbying for bank loans and delayed dairy milk payments.
