[Gatete Nyiringabo Ruhumuliza 🌞 @gateteviews]

Now that the 2AM Bar Closing issue has settled down, let me tell you a story about my country, Rwanda:

When Paul Kagame came to power in 2000, NGOs were very strong, almost running our country. A few years after he had settled in, he noticed that there was no accountability. Since foreigners were expected to do things on our behalf, out of charity, why complain?

So in 2004, the government introduced Joint accountability framework between development partners and the government of Rwanda; Smack when I was starting out in Civil Society.

At national level, GoR created the DPM: Development Partners and Government Meeting, Annually;

At sector level, it created the Sector Working Groups in which CSOs and donors were represented, chaired by Permanent Secretaries of line ministries.

At decentralized levels, the Government of Rwanda compelled all NGOs to go into Joint Action Development Forums (JADF) at the district level and align their interventions with the priorities of the EDPRS-1, then EDPRS-2.

No Donor was to freestyle, or go in all sectors: One was to go in Water, one in Agriculture, one in Infrastructure, one in Justice reform, and each donor was to be evaluated annually or pack their bags!

Some expatriates had their visas and resident permits canceled, others were given 24 hours to leave, others made Persona Non-Grata.

No NGO was to have their agreement renewed by the Rwanda Government Board if the JADF of their place of intervention had not signed them a recommendation, confirming that their intervention was aligned to the District's Plan of Action.

Then RGB initiated an annual index called: Civil Society contribution to Rwanda's transformation: They evaluated in CASH contribution! No Bullshit: The latest for instance, did a ten-year comparative and found that: in the financial year 2009/2010, CSOs injected RwF $250 Million into the Rwandan economy, while in 2018/2019 the contribution of CSOs was US$196M.

They opposed all these measures, naturally, reports were written, calling our government a dictatorship. But you know us, we quoted them the South Sudanese saying: In South Sudan, when you say you want to do capacity building for them, they say to you: "Give us the building, keep the capacity to yourself.."

Anyway, to lead by example, the Government imposed a performance contract to all civil servants with annual KPIs, including ministers. Embassies, USAIDs and DFIDs and NGOs of this world started falling behind; they had come to Africa to relax, and do some charity, now they were being put to work, Inkotanyi style.

So they started telling their beneficiaries: "Aren't you exhausted?" Isn't this government violating your rights? So they started pushing things like the Global "Happiness index" and maintained that Rwandans are "Unhappy", etc.

Two weeks ago they jumped on the bandwagon of reactions to the president banning poverty pilgrimages, and now 2AM Closing bars.

So listen, Habyarimana was loved by the West because he used to tell citizens to sing: "Umurimo ni uguhinga, ibindi ni amahirwe". (Work is farming, the rest is luck) Ian Smith used to organize a boom at the stadium every Saturday for Zimbabweans to have free booze.

What the Rwandan Patriotic Front and Paul Kagame are doing is a systemic social, economic, mental, spiritual, and attitudinal transformation: Rwandans are self-respected people who have no time to waste! They are people in a hurry to reach their date with history. They will get themselves out of poverty in this very generation! That is the single most pressing thing.

I wish we could ban alcohol altogether. It has been proven that the import of Coffee and tea to the UK, contributed to the industrial revolution. Asked to name the one thing that developed Singapore, Lee Kwan Yew answered: Air Condition. Most people missed the philosophy in his answer: He meant: conducive working conditions in which people have enough brain oxygen. The first drainer of brain oxygen is alcohol.

In the current state of our country, we shouldn't have any reason to have a single alcoholic drink or spend time in churches praying for riches, or on the streets protesting:

We still have a lot of work to do now. I do not want anyone to look at my child as a recipient of other people's charity. That must end with this generation. Those who say we are unhappy are right, we are unhappy with foreign aid which still represents 13% of our Budget, and 5% of our GDP; We are unhappy with poverty: We should be working for 24 hours and "inemuri" like the Japanese!
