Rwanda's Financial Transparency: A Lesson for Africa

Readers of this blog are well aware that I have in the past focused on some of the dictatorial tendecies of Mr. Paul Kagame of Rwanda. However, I must confess my admiration for Mr. Kagame when it comes to the insipient financial transparency that he is bringing to the budget of his country. Countries such as Cameroon, Gabon, Congo, DRC, Nigeria, etc. would do well to learn from what Mr. Kagame is doing. Rwanda is one of the few African countries where the budget is published online for all to see. There is significant details of income and expenditures in these budgets. This is what we need in Africa. Good work, Mr. Kagame.
