Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>While appearing in front of both chambers of the parliament on Friday, December 3, the Prime Minister Edouard Ngirente made a case for mandatory vaccination.<\/p>\n

He was backed by Dr. Daniel Ngamije, Rwanda\u2019s Minister of Health and his counterpart of local government, Jean Marie Vianney Gatabazi. Ngirente was presenting to the Parliament, in a joint session, the government\u2019s actions relating to the Covid-19 vaccination program.<\/p>\n

After his presentation which revolved around the update of the Covid-19 vaccination program, MP Frank Habineza asked him if mandating people to get in certain places to get vaccinated might not hamper their human rights.<\/p>\n

Habineza was referring to concert attendants who are mandated to present their vaccination certificates as well as the case in Rusizi district where \u2018some residents were denied entry in the market as they had not been vaccinated\u2019. The Premier replied that it is everyone\u2019s will to get vaccinated, just as it is the government\u2019s duty to protect those who have been vaccinated.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is your right not to get vaccinated, but it is not your right to contaminate the disease to others who are safe and obedient to the health protocols. So, that is why we won\u2019t allow people who are not vaccinated to go into large gatherings,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe purchased the vaccines from the government\u2019s budget, administered them for free, conducted awareness raising campaigns, so none has the right to hamper those efforts,\u201d explained Ngirente, adding that the issue would be forcing people to be inoculated.<\/p>\n

On this note, Minister Gatabazi shed light on the \u2018mandatory\u2019 vaccinations, stating that some of the cases were miscommunicated, exemplifying Rusizi district where \u2018none was denied entry into the market because they were vaccinated\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was just a vaccination campaign taking place at the market and physicians were looking for anyone at the market who did not get the jab to vaccinate them. So they asked them to get vaccinated at the entry of the market, so disagreements rose for few people and the youth volunteers, ending up calling that they were denied entry because they were not vaccinated,\u201d Gatabazi recounted.<\/p>\n

He added that for the concerts, attendants are so close as they are in amusement celebrations that respecting the guidelines might be tough, hence urging them to get vaccinated.<\/p>\n
