It had a lot of content in it that was very true. Just like a neighbor can make policies in your household without your approval under the guise of I help you a lot. Foreigners should let Africa participate in formulating policies that affect it. Good points noted and I hope these good friends of ours can take that into considerations. - Gaspar Kalemera Tue, 15 Mar 2011 23:04:09 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/News/news-analysis/849-kagames-advisors-propel-the-economy-#comment-37747 Hi Andrew, On your podcast I was listening to President Paul Kagame's response to your questions during the interview. Those were good questions and I am glad I was able to get first hand responses from the big man himself. Why? These are questions I have always been getting during my case study on Rwanda's economic development. Thanks a lot for the great job and service. - Gaspar Kalemera Tue, 15 Mar 2011 22:46:28 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/News/news-analysis/849-kagames-advisors-propel-the-economy-#comment-37746 Hi Mr. Bigdog I like your speech at TED. You made a good analysis of the role of foreign aid. I am an economic development student in Boston, Ma and I really learnt a lot from your speech. Thanx - Gaspar Kalemera Tue, 15 Mar 2011 22:41:47 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/News/news-analysis/849-kagames-advisors-propel-the-economy-#comment-27568 .Some months ago i head a report on the ABC here in Australia about the current situation. it was said that if every person on remand for murder was to come to trial this would take many many years and cost a great amount of money. People where asked to show forgiveness. Widows to the murderers of their husbands along with others. This started a road to harmony. The "good" joined with the "bad" and worked together. Can you tell me more - MARGARET KEBSCH Sat, 19 Jun 2010 01:37:33 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/News/news-analysis/849-kagames-advisors-propel-the-economy-#comment-14903 The Girafe is surely missing the point albeit deliberately.You should or must be aware that the said Rwandese exile population is highly encouraged to return home going by the this mounth's meeting by the Rwandese minister of local govt and the UNHCR personel and for ur information a deadline of July has bn set for evry Rwandese in the camps in Uganda to return home.The Giraffe seems to be a Genocide revisionist/denier otherwise u can not be surely talking and defending the ****ers who afraid of coming back to their to face the law as exiles.You should no that evry man has his or her own weaknesses either political or personal but you can not accuse Kagame of the Habyarimana's adage of "Rwanda is like a Glass full of water such when you pour more water, the water will spill over".So Giraffe, dont show your ethinicity hatrade on this platform and expect us not to notice it. - rwabukanga Mon, 11 May 2009 14:39:12 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/News/news-analysis/849-kagames-advisors-propel-the-economy-#comment-14570 Man's historical mission on earth is to develop the world. This is what president Kagame lives -up to. Rwandans should all wake up in arms to fight-off whoever wants to derail the peace that we have achieved. Let sell-outs hang as we foster our hard-earned development. Long live Kagame - mugabowindekwe Mon, 27 Apr 2009 18:23:33 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/News/news-analysis/849-kagames-advisors-propel-the-economy-#comment-14562 We are behind you to all our developments,and we apreciate,use any body,any race.whether green or blue as long as we move foward.

Our country is moving forward from that pit it was in 1994 to where it's heading now. We have a great president and a wonderful population. but a little correction I am sure that Triberg Rujugiro is no longer a member of the PAC, the reasons being that he is being detained for money laundering and non payment of taxes which our President can not tolerate.

If kagame desires foreign advisors, he maybe has a legitimate reason to do so. A country like Uganda has hundreds of indigenous presidential advisors,but what have the accomplished hitherto? African advisors are out of touch with their sorrounding and can therefore not give any constructive advice or critism. African solutions to African problems will not work as most africans lack foresight - Tizze Fri, 24 Apr 2009 14:26:20 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/News/news-analysis/849-kagames-advisors-propel-the-economy-#comment-14509 President Kagame is sticking to PROFESSIONALISM in all sectors: Social Security, Health and Education. The strong institutions being built through professional ethics is rapidly propelling Rwanda to acheiving the MDG. Soft Security (provision of quality services to the people) is better than Hard Security (massive recruitment and deployment of forces, purchases of mil hardwares, ...). The largely unprofessional and corrupt environment in Uganda today is being modelled by lack of professionalism (belief in and follow of organisations' doctrine). These doctrines are normally developed based on centuries of experiences e.g. military doctrine that defines an army's fighting power are based on long experience. Ugandan Forces (UPDF, UPF & UPS) must look critically on the issue of progression of its officers, men and women. Otherwise, there is total unprofessionalism in the way personalities have been promoted; which leaves lots of frustrations in the forces. Kyanda escalated the problem. The president should revamp all current rotten organisations and question their corresponding heads why they conduct themselves unprofessionally 24/7 esp on personnel management and procurements. They are squarely responsible for the opinion polls on corruption and democracy in Uganda today. We must build strong institutions based on merit and Uganda will be restarted on the path towards achieving the MDG for the people. Thank you. - Max Mike Fri, 24 Apr 2009 14:14:23 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/News/news-analysis/849-kagames-advisors-propel-the-economy-#comment-14473 Like Ostriches some of you will hide their heads in the sand thinking that since you are not seeing the enemy then ofcourse the enemy is also not seeing you. But wait abit. Soon all those in exile will want to go home. Those who insist on developing alone will be proved wrong when they begin globe trotting looking for international peace keepers to secure their lives and investments. - Giraffe Thu, 23 Apr 2009 19:51:39 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/News/news-analysis/849-kagames-advisors-propel-the-economy-#comment-14456 Nine out of ten people will always discourage innovation and enterprise . Human nature by default seems to be negative. .Many can write , a few act. Yes we can in Rwanda. President Kagame , advance. - Joe Thu, 23 Apr 2009 12:15:12 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/News/news-analysis/849-kagames-advisors-propel-the-economy-#comment-14448 Rwanda can easily make a break-through into the class of emerging economies. With her committed and forward-looking top leadership, she is definitely going to set an unprecedented example of a viable African economy. It is short-sighted for somebody to look at individuals as Imperialists! Or not to see that Rwanda is among the very small number of stable African countries at the moment, not withstanding the limited numbers of die-hard genocidaires still outside her borders. As only a small example, where else in Africa is every citizen's healthcare ensured in what is called "Mutuelles de Sante"? Clean water, free education, malaria eradication, free AIDS drugs, etc., etc, for every citizen? Gallop ahead, Tiny Rwanda! Old adage in Kinyarwanda: Ubugabo si ubutumbi! - Ingina y'Igihanga Thu, 23 Apr 2009 10:47:15 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/News/news-analysis/849-kagames-advisors-propel-the-economy-#comment-14440 the Giraffe is obviously not as smart as its tall. what has the genocide perpetrators outside the country got to do with the forward progress of the country now ? - Moi Wed, 22 Apr 2009 22:00:48 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/News/news-analysis/849-kagames-advisors-propel-the-economy-#comment-14438 First things first. Rwanda's major challenge is security. For as long as a big fraction of the country's population keeps in exile, all investments made inside the country remain vulnerable. Most of the infrastructure now coming up in the country is just a replacement of what existed in pre-genocide times. Whoever divided Rwanda was a scoundrel whose legacy all foward looking people must seek to overturn. As for using white advisors, there isn't much about it apart from inferiority complex. Otherwise, Rwanda has enough people to act as presidential advisors if its citizens agreed to work together. - Giraffe Wed, 22 Apr 2009 21:08:44 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/News/news-analysis/849-kagames-advisors-propel-the-economy-#comment-14432 i don't think that Kagame choosing imperialists to advise him will yield anything as it regards eradicating poverty in our tiny country why can't you emulate the Libyan leader other than going for Blairs and the likes remember Mr. African problems should get African solutions other than importing those blue eyed white men and women who caused the global recession today as president LULA put it, anyway where else have the imperialists spearheaded the development of an African country? - jimmy Wed, 22 Apr 2009 18:11:11 +0100
