Icyemezo cyafatiwe mu nama y’inteko rusange ya EAGF yabereye i Kigali, iyobowe na Dr. Frank Habineza, Umuyobozi w’Ishyaka Riharanira Ibidukikije mu Rwanda (Democratic Green Party of Rwanda, DGPR), akaba ari nawe uyoboye iyo mpuzamashyaka ku rwego rw’akarere.

U Rwanda rwaserukiwe n’abayobozi bayo barimo Dr. Habineza n’abandi bayobozi mu ishyaka rye. Ni mu gihe abari baturutse muri Somalia, Kenya, n’Uganda bari bafite inyota yo kwakira icyo cyicaro, ariko baje gutanga amahirwe ku Rwanda.

Yatangaje ko igitekerezo cyo gushyira icyicaro gikuru i Kigali cyamuje nk’inzozi ari mu ijoro ryamaze muri uwo mujyi.

Yongeyeho ko ari ho honyine umuntu ashobora kurota ibitekerezo binini, bityo akaba yaratekereje ko icyicaro gikuru cy’iyi mpuzamashyaka cyahashyirwa.

Iri gitekerezo ryahawe ijambo n’ibindi bihugu bihuriye muri iyo mpuzamashyaka, ariko haje kubaho kujya inama ku bijyanye n’ubushobozi bwo kugishyira mu bikorwa, ishingiro ryacyo n’ingaruka z’amategeko, cyane ko Kenya na Uganda zari zamaze gutanga ibisabwa ngo zishyikirizwe icyo cyicaro. Uganda yo yari yanemeye gutanga inyubako nk’ibiro, dore ko by’igihe gito icyo cyicaro cyari kimaze igihe gikorera i Kampala.

Nubwo Kenya na Uganda zari zatangiye izo mbaraga, Mohamoud yavuze ko amahitamo ku Rwanda atari impaka. Yavuze ko u Rwanda rwari rubikwiye, kandi ko ari igihe nyacyo cyo kugira icyicaro gihuza ibihugu byose bigize iyo mpuzamashyaka. Yatanze urugero rw’uko buri gihugu cyatanga umusanzu, urugero nk’amadolari 200,000, cyangwa kigashaka ubufasha mu bandi bafatanyabikorwa nk’amashyaka y’ibidukikije ku isi hose.

Umuyobozi w’Ishyaka Ecological Party of Uganda, Charles Barry Lwanga, wigeze gutanga aho icyo cyicaro cyakorera by’agateganyo, yemeye gutanga rugari ku Rwanda, avuga ko nta mpamvu yo guhangana ku kibazo kimeze neza. Yemeje ko nubwo Uganda yari yaragitanze, u Rwanda rubikwiye kurushaho kandi ko bazashyigikira uwo mwanzuro.

Uruhande rw’u Rwanda narwo rwashimangiye ko rutewe ishema n’uwo mwanzuro, kandi ko ruzakomeza gahunda yarwo yo guteza imbere iterambere rishingiye ku kurengera ibidukikije. Habineza yavuze ko u Rwanda ruzagerageza gukemura ibyo bisabwa, nko kubona ubutaka, ndetse anasaba ko hakigwa no ku cyemezo cyo kugishakira mu karere ka Bugesera. Ibi yabishingiye ku kuba hari kubakwa ikibuga mpuzamahanga cya Bugesera, kikaba kizegereza u Rwanda n’ibihugu bigize EAGF.

Dr. Habineza yemeje ko igihe bagitegereje, bashobora gukoresha rimwe mu biro bine ishyaka rye rifite mu gihugu, nk’icyicaro cy’agateganyo cya EAGF, kugira ngo batangire gutegura ibikenewe byose birimo ubutaka, inyubako n’ibikoresho.

Yagaragaje ko ishyirwa mu bikorwa ry’uyu mushinga rizoroherezwa n’ibikorwa bihari, birimo ifungurwa ry’Ikigo Mpuzamahanga cy’Imari cya Kigali (Kigali International Financial Center), politiki y’u Rwanda yemerera abantu kwinjira mu gihugu batabanje gusaba visa, hamwe n’ivugururwa ry’amategeko yemerera imiryango mpuzamahanga gukorera mu gihugu.

Habineza yavuze ko u Rwanda rwamaze kwiyegereza amahanga kandi rwiteguye kwakira imishinga mpuzamahanga, akaba ari impamvu nziza y’inyongera ku cyemezo cyo guha u Rwanda icyicaro gikuru cya EAGF.

Yavuze ko ibyo bishoboka kubera ubuyobozi bwiza bwa Perezida Kagame n’uruhare rwa Dr. Habineza nk’umuyobozi w’ishyaka riharanira ibidukikije. Yagize ati ko iki gitekerezo kiri mu gihe gikwiye kuko ibigo byinshi mpuzamahanga byatangiye gukorera mu Rwanda. Bityo kuba ari u Rwanda rwakwakira icyicaro byaba ari igikorwa gikomeye cyo kwagura uruhare rwa EAGF ku rwego mpuzamahanga.

Umunyamabanga Mukuru w’Ishyaka DGPR akaba n’umudepite, Jean Claude Ntezimana, nawe yashimangiye ko kugira icyicaro gikuru bizafasha iyi mpuzamashyaka gutera intambwe mu bya politiki, mu bushobozi bw’amafaranga, no mu gutanga umusanzu mu karere ndetse no hanze yako. Yavuze ko kuba Dr. Habineza yaratorewe kuyobora iyo mpuzamashyaka ku nshuro ya kabiri bizamufasha gukoresha ubunararibonye afite mu gushyira mu bikorwa uyu mushinga.

Muri iyi nama y’inteko rusange hanaganiriwe ku ngingo zijyanye n’imitungo, ubufatanye hagati y’ibihugu bigize iyo mpuzamashyaka, kwemerera andi mashyaka kwinjira, imisanzu, n’ibindi. Harimo no kwemeza impinduka ku mazina y’ishyaka rimwe na rimwe, nk’uko Ishyaka Ecological Party of Uganda ryahinduriwe izina rikaba Green Forum Uganda. Hanemejwe kandi ko itegeko nshinga rivugururwa, kugira ngo icyicaro gikuru cyimurwe ku mugaragaro kivuye i Kampala kijya i Kigali.

Ibyo byose byatangiye gushyirwa mu bikorwa binyuze mu buryo bwihuse, u Rwanda rugomba gushaka ibyangombwa byose nkenerwa birimo ubutaka, inyubako, amategeko agenga ishyirwaho ry’ibiro, hamwe n’imikoranire n’andi mashyaka n’abaterankunga bashobora gushyigikira iyi gahunda.
