The Minister of Local Government, Patrice Mugenzi, has urged citizens to remain committed to Umuganda, emphasizing it as a means of finding local solutions that drive Rwanda’s development.

Minister Mugenzi made these remarks on Saturday, January 25, 2025, while participating in the monthly community service event, Umuganda, in Masaka Sector, Kicukiro District.
