EU releases US $50 million to Rwanda

    NAIROBI
    The European Union (EU) has finally released a US $50 million grant which it held back six months ago because of Rwandan government's involvement in the DRC, the Rwanda News Agency reported. The amount will be used to support economic reforms. Although the EU withheld this particular package, it had continued its support for sectors such as justice, health, education and rehabilitating the infrastructure. Finance Minister Donald Kaberuka stressed the money was needed to help security return to the country.
