Kigali, October 25, 2018: Rt.Hon. Prime Minister Dr. Edouard Ngirente appeared before the Chamber of Senators to explain the strategies of the Government of Rwanda to achieve universal access to clean water by 2024.
According to the Premier, some of the key challenges that still prevent Rwandans from accessing clean water include: insufficiency of clean water on the national level, unplanned housing especially in rural areas, climate change, number of water sources that are decreasing because of erosion, pollution of water sources especially in wetlands, limited data on access to water and poor rain water harvest and management.
Before explaining how Government will overcome the above challenges, the Prime Minister shared with Senators a list of some important water projects that were recently realized and those in pipeline in order to increase the quantity of clean water and distribute it in different parts of the country.
Talking about the strategies, Dr. Edouard Ngirente explained in details, short and long-term sustainable solutions to current challenges to clean water. Senators were satisfied by explanations given by the Prime Minister.
