With this in mind, the natives of the commune have agreed to set up an education support fund which will allow even indigent students to have a building rented to them by the commune upon their arrival at the university due to the fact that, some winners of the state exam miss the opportunity to continue with higher education due to lack of financial means.
The natives of the Kayanza commune also addressed the issue relating to the high birth rate and the galloping demographics. For some, there is a risk of not achieving the national vision 2040-2060 unless births are planned.
For Minister Niteretse, the most astonishing thing is that the couples who give birth to a lot are those who languish in poverty, which he described as a crime against children. With this in mind, he suggested intensifying awareness-raising in order to encourage couples to limit births.
Given that there is already a project to pave the urban roads of Kayanza, residents of the Gitaramuka, Giswahili and Kirwati districts were invited to clear the constructions put in the places where they received compensation. Note that the meeting was closed by the exchange of wishes between the natives of the aforementioned commune.
