Drinking during working hours banned

The Rwandan cabinet has banned drinking alcohol during working hours. “This is to sensitise all Rwandans to work eight hours per day by avoiding alcohol that may disrupt work,” Rwandan radio said in a report of the cabinet meeting. The meeting, chaired by Vice-President Paul Kagame also approved a number of sackings and appointments, including a restructuring of the vice-president’s office. Dr Theogene Rudasingwa was named director in the vice-president’s office, and David Musema Kweli, Emmanuel Gasana and Annette Mukakigeri were appointed as advisers.

Eugene Kayanga Muzuka was sacked as sub-prefect of Bugumya in Cyangugu prefecture, along with Frank Mwine the mayor of Nyakabuye, also in Cyangugu, for “promoting divisionism in the area”.
