Minister admits inadequate economic management

Rwandan Finance Minister Donald Kaberuka said on Monday that despite positive economic achievements made by his government in the last seven years, the country still had inadequately prepared projects, poor project management and inadequate tracking of foreign disbursement. “The disparities are attributed to the lack of a clear focal point for foreign aid management, which in turn leads to inadequate coordination of development projects affiliated to ministries and other public institutions within the country,” Kaberuka told participants at a conference organised by his ministry in Kigali. He said there was no regulated organisational framework for public investment management, within which the central government could institute tight controls over national economic activities.
