Doris Uwicyeza Picard was also appointed the CEO of Rwanda Governance Board.<\/p>\n<p>The Head of State said that there are many good things achieved over the past years of governance, adding that it is not, however, a time for complacency given that the achievements could have been even greater.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that for those who did not find themselves in the new cabinet, it does not mean they were fired but it was a change of responsibilities, which will be seen in the coming days.<\/p>\n<p>As the new cabinet members work to fulfil their responsibilities, Kagame told them to have time for reflection and self-evaluation with truthfulness without waiting for external critics.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cIt reminds us of self-evaluation and the use of what we have to fulfill these responsibilities for which you have taken oath. The responsibilities of serving Rwanda and its people, including you, but you shouldn\u2019t start with yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Kagame, leaders should understand that they also gain through serving others.<\/p>\n<p>He urged them to stay informed about what people speak about them, noting that it should put them in a position to assess whether they are still on the right path of achieving what they want and for the benefit of those they serve.<\/p>\n<p>He added that the moment they get shaken by criticism and insults, they have failed in their work. \u201cYou should give it time but it shouldn\u2019t waste your time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kagame reiterated that Rwanda cannot develop if people work in isolation, meaning that all levels of leadership should work together and deliver on their duties on time.<\/p>\n<p>Pointing out that there are some leaders who sleep on their work, yet the required resources and policies are available, he said that they should refuse the appointment to office if they aren\u2019t capable of delivering or resign whenever they are no longer committed to work.<\/p>\n<p>Warning against counterproductive lengthy meetings<\/p>\n<p>Kagame also called for an end to long meetings in which the leaders delay and are often unproductive.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, leaders should first of all consider the importance of the scheduled meeting and put a time limit as well as ensure it bears fruit.<\/p>\n<p>He also encouraged the ministers to live healthy lives and succeed as they carry out their duties in the government.<\/p>\n<p>The cabinet implements national policy. According to the Constitution, the Cabinet is accountable to the President and the Parliament. Under the responsibilities of the cabinet, the Prime Minister leads the functioning of the Government per the main guidelines given by the President and ensures the implementation of laws.<\/p>\n<p>The Prime Minister also formulates government programmes in consultation with Cabinet members.<\/p>\n<p>He is also expected to present government programmes to Parliament within 30 days of taking office.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About Rwanda Follow Africa-Press<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Rwanda.
