NPC TENETS OF POLITICAL BARGAINING

NPC TENETS OF POLITICAL BARGAINING

NATIONAL PEOPLE’S CONCERN (NPC)

PREAMBLE
Concerned by the political domination of the RPF in Rwanda and the socioeconomic well-being of the Rwandan people; Honouring the memory of Rwanda’s all-too-recent and bloody past; Cognizant of the history of the unilateral rule and the effect it has had on the Rwandan people;
Determined to ensure that Rwanda remains an open and peaceful country committed to principles of non-discrimination, pluralism, and inclusiveness;

Committed to achieving lasting peace and prosperity for all Rwandans, at home and abroad;

Guided by the universal principles of peace, justice, and human rights;

Reaffirming Rwandans’ shared commitment to democracy, transparency, good governance, and the rule of law;

Ensuring that any changes to the current political regime are brought about through lawful, peaceful, and political means only;

Pledging to ensure that all Rwandans hold a meaningful stake in the governance of their country;

Determined to find a lasting political solution to Rwanda’s political crisis,

We put forth this Coalition Agreement for the Rwandan people.

MISSION STATEMENT

The National People’s Concern (NPC) aims to unite Rwandans in restoring meaningful freedom, security, and fundamental human rights to our homeland. NPC is a broad-based political coalition bringing together Rwandans from all sectors to end de facto one-party rule and restore power to the people. NPC seeks to forge a dialogue of genuine reconciliation and healing, grounded in principles of democracy, openness, inclusion, tolerance, and equality. NPC actively seeks members to join our struggle for freedom and self-determination for all Rwandans.

INTRODUCTION

Rwandans, along with the rest of the world, hoped for a true political and economic transformation to rise from the ashes of genocide. When the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) claimed victory in July 1994, refugees who had supported the war began to repatriate, hoping to cherish the victory that had cost the lives of their families, friends, and countrymen. Genocide survivors also remained in order to build a better Rwanda from our genocidal ashes. The prospect of democracy, freedom, and peace drew many to support RPF as they shifted from a military organization to a political one. Thirty years later, it is clear that the RPF has failed.

Rwandans have lost faith in the current regime, and, increasingly, in the government itself. Since 1994, Rwanda has been under de facto one-party rule, overseen by one man: Paul Kagame. President Kagame served as Rwanda’s leader from 1994 to 2000, while serving as Vice-President and Minister of Defence in Rwanda’s post-conflict “unity” government. In 2000, Mr. Kagame officially took over the presidency when his predecessor, Pasteur Bizimungu, resigned. President Kagame has officially held the presidency ever since, most recently winning his second seven-year term with over 93% of the vote. As president, Kagame has overseen a domineering and all-encompassing political and military movement bent on suppressing the diversity of thoughts and opinions that could help Rwanda achieve true success. Instead, RPF has dominated all spheres of our nation, using fear, terror, and suspicion to turn Rwandans against one another. RPF has created enmity among family members and friends, hoping that by positioning us against each other we won’t see their failures. But God has seen all that the RPF does—illegal land seizures and assassination campaigns; the jailing of opposition leaders; the suffering and divisions created between tribes; and the lack of trust with our neighbours. RPF has done all of this through an undemocratic process that is the real reason for Rwanda’s social and economic insecurity. RPF is a government of one tribe, and of one man. Instead of uniting Rwandans, RPF’s divisive ways have prevented refugees from returning to Rwanda. And what Rwanda is there to return to? The skyscrapers of Kigali serve to distract attention from the lack of development in rural areas. Taxes are applied unfairly and used as another tool in RPF’s campaign of coercion and domination. Corruption in employment sectors turns on party and tribe membership rather than merit. RPF must cease its unilateral and domineering ways and surrender Rwanda’s power to the original owners—the people of Rwanda. Today, those who question the wisdom of Rwanda’s leaders are labelled enemies of the state. Instead of solving Rwanda’s political problems, the RPF seeks to hold onto power for as long as possible and at whatever cost. The Rwandan people are forced to cling to RPF for survival, hoping against all evidence that their leaders will simply become better. This wait-and-see approach has yielded few results. Political parties have been forcefully integrated into what has been termed a “coalition” with RPF. Those who have acted independently have been intimidated, arrested, barred from the election process, or otherwise silenced or removed. Rwandans, forever changed by an unspeakable genocide just two decades ago, remain fearful that a change in government could not occur peacefully. We are here to say that it can. Today, representatives of Rwanda’s two largest tribes have met to sign an agreement to open a dialogue, initiate a lasting and true healing process, and provide a framework for a brighter future for all Rwandans. We are issuing a call for everyone—from Army commanders to day labourers; farmers to clergymen; politicians to civil society; Kigali residents to displaced refugees—to join us in ending the political, economic, and social injustice that has enslaved Rwanda for far too long. NPC will partner with the masses to build a democratic society, develop our unique culture, beliefs, and language, and grow a peaceful and secure economy and community in which all people have access to sufficient food, energy, and infrastructure. NPC believes that all Rwandans should have a meaningful say in electing a government of their choice in regular, free, and fair elections in a multiparty democracy. Rwanda should be free from discrimination and allow people to associate freely with the ideas, people, and principles that they choose. And this open society must be protected by an independent judiciary, free from government and party influence. NPC will build together, as a coalition force, to bring holistic change to the quality of life for all Rwandans. NPC will repair the broken relationships between our fragmented ethnic groups. We seek to bring together the warring forces of Rwanda to dialogue, in public debates, to build trust and confidence amongst one another. We must speak freely, without fear or intimidation, to devise a healing methodology of political repair that is supported by Rwanda’s diverse population. Together, we can bring about political change and establish an inclusive system of governance that represents and serves the interests of all Rwandans. We, the parties to this agreement, hereby declare our intention to overcome the tribal differences perpetuated by colonialist invaders and divisive Rwandans. Together, we represent the Hutu and Tutsi tribes and we have opened our doors for the Twa to join us, as well. We have forged this coalition to provide a political solution to Rwanda’s political problem of one-party rule. We stand for freedom. We stand for democracy. We stand for transparency and openness. We stand for economic and social justice. And we represent those who trust the Rwandan people to make their own political choices in a free, 11 fair, and open election process. For too long, Rwandans have endured dictatorial governments, corruption, visionless leaders, and a gross misuse of our scarce resources. Rwandans have suffered civil and tribal wars, hunger, and disease. It is time to end this degradation. This document articulates the coalition’s stance on Rwanda’s most pressing issues and lays out a blueprint for bringing meaningful freedom to the Rwandan people. To make this dream a reality, the parties to this document have agreed to work together, in good faith and for common cause, under the banner of the National People’s Concern.

BASIC NEEDS AND SERVICES
Our Pledge: The true success of any nation is measured in the quality of life of its people. The NPC pledges to do everything it can to provide all Rwandans with the opportunity to share in
our country`s wealth, to contribute to its development, and to improve their lives. The fight against poverty requires a coordinated strategy that cuts across all sectors, with particular attention to rural and disadvantaged areas.
Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights: NPC shall prioritize the full realisation of economic, social, and cultural rights. NPC shall:

• Review all national policies to ensure the full realisation of these rights;
• Align trade and economic agreements with our international treaty obligations relating to economic, social, and cultural rights.
• Promote compliance with the principles of corporate social responsibility in the private sector;
• Involve civil society, interest groups, and other key stakeholders in policymaking consultations to ensure the protection and implementation of economic, social, and cultural rights;
• Increase the capacity of state institutions to produce disaggregated data to obtain an accurate assessment of economic, social, and cultural rights, publishing annual reports on Rwanda’s ability to make these rights more accessible and non-discriminatory.
• Adopt special measures to protect the rights of historically marginalised groups, including women, children, indigenous peoples, displaced persons, refugees, persons living with HIV/AIDS, and the disabled;
• Prosecute to the fullest extent of the law any reported violation of economic, social, and cultural rights, especially with regard to child labour, workplace and industrial safety standards, forced evictions, minimum wage, the environment, and food security;
• Tie NPC’s planned spending reduction for security forces to an increase in funding for the implementation of economic, social, and cultural rights.

Education: Education is a right, not a privilege. NPC will finally make education a priority, opening the doors of learning to all Rwandans. NPC will encourage a culture of learning and teaching and will introduce a curriculum that promotes both technical skills and humane ideals. NPC will:

• Foster a culture of learning, teaching, and service;
• Introduce one education system that provides ten years of free and compulsory education for all children;
• Utilise all existing school facilities;
• Build additional classrooms and repair and modernise inadequate facilities;
• Employ a pupil’s workbook and deliver textbooks for all students within the first year;
• Provide mother-tongue instruction in the student’s language of choice;
• Establish a national bursary fund and student loan system for higher education;
• Establish an adult literacy program;
• Reintegrate teens back into the school system that has not completed their education;
• Implement preschool educare;
• Provide special assistance to women in the education sector;
• Ensure that no student is excluded from a public school due to an inability to pay;
• Ensure that school resources are more equitably spread throughout the country;
• Limit the class size to ensure an effective student-teacher ratio;
• Press ahead with the National Schools Building Programs to meet increasing demand, with a specific focus on improving infrastructure in rural areas and townships;
• Raise the quality of school leadership teams by strengthening administrative capacity and ensuring parental involvement;
• Integrate Adult Basic Education and Training with skills development to improve access to educational and employment opportunities, within the National Qualifications Framework;
• Prioritise national planning and funding system development for higher education while controlling wastage in this sector.
• Embark on specialized education that is useful for Rwanda and the African continent;
• Reduce years in the classroom and expand years in the field to build technical skills and provide students with real-world experience;
• Modernise technical and vocational education;
• Emphasise subjects relevant to success in the Rwanda of today and tomorrow—economics, business, science, technology, and personnel management—ensuring that the next generation of workers has the tools and training to succeed;
• Focus on the positive, uniting differences of culture,

Energy: NPC will invest extensively in hydroelectric and renewable energies to facilitate true energy independence and security for Rwanda. NPC’s energy policy will focus on the reduction of environmental degradation, as a comprehensive part of meeting the country’s energy needs. NPC will lead Rwanda into the green future, enticing clean-energy investors into the country and bringing high-tech jobs to the Rwandan people.
Environment: NPC will invest in creating a green Rwanda to protect the environment and establish an economy that is as viable today as it will be one hundred years from now. Every Rwandan must safeguard the environment for future generations.
Families and Children: NPC will establish cultural laws to protect families, especially women and children, as this will strengthen the familial bond and provide greater peace and stability in our society.
Food Security: NPC will establish community-based produce warehouses for stocking harvests locally. NPC will also:

• Assist small-scale farmers by providing opportunities for training and increasing their access to credit and markets;
• Restructure development agencies and marketing boards to better serve farmers and consumers.
  Healthcare: NPC seeks to guarantee basic healthcare to all Rwandans, emphasising preventative care. NPC will assess the current distribution of health resources and ensure that rural areas and poverty-stricken communities are covered in equal measure as the wealthier and urban parts of Rwanda. Further,
  NPC’s health program will:
• Provide free health services in all national hospitals;
• make medicines more affordable;
• Direct major resources at combating tuberculosis, malaria, HIV/AIDS, sexually transmitted diseases, cancer, and other plagues;
• Facilitate the integration of traditional health practices as a complement to modern medicine;
• Develop a comprehensive, affordable, and accessible
• National Public Health System, financed by a Social Health Insurance program
• Eliminate RPF’s mandatory health contributions, which place an undue burden on Rwanda’s poorest citizens;
• Improve the availability of doctors and nurses, especially at rural clinics;
• Ensure the availability and affordability of medicine, in line with our national drug policy;
• Improve the management of hospitals and dispensaries;
• Develop campaigns against drug, tobacco and alcohol-related illnesses;
• Draw from our culture’s traditions to promote abstinence before marriage as an effective way of strengthening marriages and preventing unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections;
• Give extensive support to couples who will test their virginity before their wedding;
• Review existing laws to ensure that health status is never the basis for discrimination in Rwanda.
• Housing: All Rwandans deserve to have their basic needs met, including the right to call a secure, comfortable, sheltered place home. Following NPC’s implementation of land reforms, NPC will implement a five-year plan to:
• Assist in the building of two million new homes;
• Provide running water and flush toilets to over two million families;
• Electrify five million rural and urban homes;
• Make an honest agreement with the private sector and trade unions to better channel investments into the housing sector;
• Develop housing on well-located land near areas of economic activity, overcoming the apartheid-like human settlement patterns of so-called Group Areas;
• Improve and speed up the housing subsidy program to better uplift housing conditions for the urban poor in informal settlements;
• Loosen credit for housing financing, especially through micro-loans;
• Reduce homelessness by increasing the availability of rental units through housing subsidies, and service-enriched housing; and by removing administrative barriers to home loans;
• Support the People`s Housing Process, setting up Housing Support Centres to help poor people build their own houses, share resources, and purchase affordable housing materials;
• Institute rent control;

Land Reform: Rwanda belongs to all Rwandans. NPC will implement several key land reform initiatives to maximise production and opportunity for all. NPC will:

• Guarantee women meaningful and equal rights and access to land;
• Strengthen the security of land tenure;
• Provide restitution to victims of forced removals through the establishment of a Land Claims Court;
• Assess the current status of state-owned land to determine whether portions of that land would be more useful in the hands of private citizens, either through sale or short-term lease;
• Review current restrictions on land ownership to create more farmable land and to increase food security and employment in agriculture.
  Public Works: NPC’s main focus will be to ensure that the prosperity so readily on display in Kigali will reach the most remote rural homesteads of Rwanda. To accomplish this, NPC will introduce a rural development program to quickly modernise key infrastructure, while also providing increased job opportunities for Rwanda’s rural citizens. NPC will focus on hiring locally available workers so that communities benefit not just from better services but also from increased employment. The rural development program will strengthen the provision of those services critical to the survival of a nation and its people—water, electricity, health care, schools, waste management, telecommunications, and roads—because a working Rwanda is a healthy Rwanda.
  Refugees and the Right of Return: NPC will repatriate all
  Rwandan refugees, putting an end to the genocide-fuelled Diaspora that has scattered Rwanda’s people across the globe.
  Transportation: NPC will develop and promote an integrated public transport system, which will include special assistance for the disabled. NPC will build and rehabilitate public transport infrastructure while empowering historically disadvantaged operators, ensuring greater order in this sector.
  NPC will also construct a modern transportation infrastructure essential for a dynamic and entrepreneurial economy. Rwanda will lead the charge to link the region through express railway lines, providing Rwandans with better access to seaports and the regional economy.
  National Defence: NPC will seek to guarantee the security of every tribe by building an ethnically based distribution of power within the armed forces in order to safeguard our national security. Specifically, NPC will ensure that the armed forces and other security organs are comprised of 40% Hutu, 40% Tutsi, 15% Twa, and 5% of other ethnicities. NPC will support the deployment of troops only in instances where
  Rwanda’s own borders and people are threatened. NPC will otherwise remain neutral about conflicts in neighbouring nations, providing only humanitarian support to conflict victims.

NPC will ensure that pensions are adequately funded to provide for the full needs of the elderly.
  NPC will:
• Establish and manage distributions of social grants for Rwanda’s most vulnerable groups;
• Put systems in place to eliminate fraud and control corruption,

DEMOCRACY
Our Pledge: NPC is a political organisation seeking political change through political means. NPC is founded with the explicit goal of bringing a truly free, open, and transparent democracy to Rwanda. NPC envisions a Rwanda that operates on principles of equality, pluralism, and accountability.
Affirmative Action: Opportunities must be opened for all who have suffered past discrimination, including returned refugees, and political party members not a part of the so-called
RPF revolution, former military and police officers who served honourably under previous regimes, casualties of war, and genocide survivors. NPC will ensure that any Rwandan who wants to live, work, or flourish in Rwanda has the opportunity to do so.
Civil Liberties: NPC shall:
• Guarantee freedom of speech, association, and freedom of religion;
• Ensure the freedom to travel, abolishing all passed laws or other restrictions that prevent Rwandans from moving freely within their country;
• Protect the privacy of the house from police raids through legislation that requires police to obtain a warrant from a neutral magistrate before entering a home;
• Enforce the equal application and protection of the law;
• Set a minimum age at which an individual may begin to work, safeguarding against exploitative labour practices;
• guarantee everyone the right to criticise and petition their government;
• Ensure that no one is arbitrarily deprived of their property;
• Uphold the right to a free press at all times.
The Constitution: Although the 2003 Constitution enshrines many of the same principles and ideals discussed here, it remains an under-utilized and under-enforced document under RPF leadership. The current regime has failed to enforce the many protections contained within the Constitution. NPC wants to ensure that the rights granted to the people—equal protection, free press, political freedom, and many others—are fully realised. NPC will create a Constitutional Advisory Panel, comprised of representatives from all tribes, geographical regions, and socioeconomic classes, to assess how the
The constitution is functioning. This panel will provide NPC with recommendations to better realise the Constitution’s full potential, as well as amendments worth full consideration by Parliament, the Executive Branch, and the people of Rwanda.
NPC will also seek consideration of the following Constitutional issues:

o Article 61: NPC will seek to change the language of the oath to include declarations to fight corruption; serve the community; hold public meetings in one’s constituency at least four times per year; and, to live in the community from which the official is elected;
• Term Limits: NPC will seek to enact the following term limits:

o NACO: three six-year terms;

o Legislators: two six-year terms;

o Judicial Officers: two seven-year terms;

o Executive branch members: two six-year terms;

o Other agencies: three four-year terms;

o Lower councils: three four-year terms.

Corruption: NPC will enforce strict measures, without fear or favour, to root out corruption, nepotism, and bribery in the public and private sectors, in our own organisation, and in society as a whole. NPC will remove those who seek to enrich themselves at the expense of the people. Government under
NPC will be a meritocracy, where the best ideas and hardest workers rise to the top on the basis of their abilities. NPC will:

· Establish a public body to oversee the creation and operation of a private anti-corruption unit, whose members will be replaced every two years;

· Create an Independent Commission Against Corruption, which will be as powerful as the corruption it seeks to eradicate and will function independently to promote honesty and integrity in all spheres of public and private conduct.

· Introduce effective policing of international ports of entry to prevent the smuggling of goods and people;

· Work in partnership with religious communities and other sectors to strengthen the moral fiber of Rwandan society.

Elections: NPC plans to radically innovate the election process through a localised council system in order to promote free and fair elections and curtail corruption. NPC’s “National
Congress of Specialised Councils (NACO) Proposal” increases the efficiency of elections, reduces costs, and provides opportunities for local people to play a greater role in Rwanda’s future. Most importantly, though, NPC’s proposal regulates excessive power residing in a single individual. For more information on NPC’s proposal for a National Congress, see Appendix 1.
Ethnicity: NPC, like all Rwandans, wants a society and a government where success is determined on merit alone. All of
Rwanda’s tribes wish to live in harmony, without divisions predicated on race or ethnicity. NPC opposes ethnic-grounded politics and ethnic-cantered mass mobilisation campaigns.
NPC will repeal the “Genocide Ideology” law, which unduly restricts freedom of expression and has been used as a political weapon. NPC will fight for an end to the social, political, and economic monopoly of any one tribe. NPC opposes ethnic identification cards or anything with a similar effect. NPC also opposes the quota system in all spheres of public life. NPC, however, recognises the importance of affirming ones unique heritage, and therefore supports positive expressions of ethnic recognition, personal identity, and respect for differences, which play a critical part in the reconciliation process.
Foreign Affairs: NPC will be an active member of the global community, seizing each and every opportunity to promote our national interests abroad. NPC will lead Rwanda into becoming a key player in the values of freedom, fairness, and responsibility.
Freedom of the Press: Free media is essential to a flourishing democracy. NPC will do everything in its power to protect the rights of journalists to report the news and stories that they see fit to discuss, without fear of retribution or criminal prosecution. Too many caveats contained in Article 34 of the Constitution allow the state to silence this critical institution—this censorship must end.
Immigration: NPC will seek to enrich our culture and strengthen our economy by simplifying immigration laws for the citizens of other countries with whom we share interests and values.
Justice: NPC will establish a court system that reflects society’s ethnic and gender composition, providing fairness and equality for all. Detention without trial will be done away with. The justice system will be more accessible and more affordable. NPC will introduce a law that protects all Rwandans from any form abuse. NPC will build a fairer society, free from identification by wealth, age, gender, tribe, race, religion, sexuality, size and colour.
Local Government: NPC will transform local government by introducing new organisational structures that engage people in each geographic area to act collectively. NPC will govern from the bottom up—giving all people the opportunity to exercise their right to participate in the democratic process.
NPC will:

· Restructure local government boundaries to make them financially viable;

· Establish statutory ward committees so that councillors are more responsive to their constituencies;

· Transform municipalities into idea canters for democracy, economic development, and service delivery;

· Ensure that all candidates for local government are empowered and responsive to their constituents;

· Give local communities a share in local growth;

· Free local governments from centralised control, returning it to the people;

· Give local communities more power over the central government;

· Give people the ability to determine spending priorities;

· Create a council of professionals and experts to represent local communities at the regional level;

· Return power and money to local communities to implement community-based projects,

The Monarchy: The NPC, like all the tribes of Rwanda, supports the return of its king and the father of the nation.
NPC, however, does not support a monarchical system. NPC will repatriate the king and reintegrate him with his people, reinstating him as the king of tribes and culture and helping him to reclaim his traditional heritage as another means of promoting reconciliation and fair treatment for all Rwandans.
NPC will consult with the masses as to how best to reintegrate the king and to what extent, if any, he should be involved in state affairs.
National Congress of Specialised Councils (NACO): NPC plans to restructure government based on the principle of local expertise, utilising a National Congress of Specialised Councils
(NACO) to directly elect Parliamentarians, removing the right of direct election for Parliament from the hands of the people.
Rwandan villages shall form district councils of experts. These district councils will come together to elect representatives to their respective regional councils. These regional councils will then choose members of NACO. NACO will be responsible for the selection and election of all members of Parliament. NACO will be the only entity with the power to nominate presidential candidates, who will then be elected through a popular vote of the people. NACO also will be responsible for making all judicial appointments. For more details on NACO, see Appendix 1
National Government: NPC’s aim is to build a state in which ordinary citizens have the opportunity to play an active role.
NPC will:

· Develop efficient, user-friendly, and accountable governance standards;

· Re-organise the public service to more effectively deliver services by establishing a public service commission within NACO responsible for appointments, increasing efficiency, and effectiveness, ensuring a minimum code of conduct for public services, and introducing an affirmative action program to eliminate historical inequalities in employment;

· Charge all public institutions with the task of best utilising their resources and skills to bring about open and accountable government;

· Ensure that local newspapers and radio and TV stations fulfil their role in reconstruction and development;

· Issue regular public reports detailing Rwanda’s finances, along with a clear accounting of government programs and resources.

An Open Society: NPC will strive to achieve an open society by encouraging vigorous debate. People must be free to express their views without fear, including criticising the government. Governance under NPC will be characterised by transparency and openness. The public should always be free to question and test the ideas and actions that their government takes. NPC will open the doors of public bodies, allowing ordinary citizens a chance to meaningfully participate in government year-round, not just at the ballot box. NPC will do everything in its power to assist the public in holding its politicians and public bodies accountable. As the Constitution provides, “all the power derives from the people.” NPC will bring meaning to these words by ensuring that the Rwandan people have the information necessary to exercise that power, ensuring that Rwanda is a government of the people, for the people.
Political Reform: We will cooperate with the masses, local politicians, experts, civil societies, interest groups and development partners to bring greater transparency and accountability to Rwanda’s political system. NPC will govern based on the will of the people. NPC will seek creative solutions, welcoming any idea that may bring a brighter future to Rwanda. NPC holds no prejudice to agents of change and development in the country. We will put an immediate end to the attacks on opposition political groups and institute true multiparty democracy in Rwanda, ending years of tyrannical rule by the RPF. NPC will:

· End the ban that prevents politicians from running for office if they have been sentenced to a prison term of six months or more (as this has been used as a political tool to disqualify opposition candidates);

· Safeguard the right to vote for all Rwandans;

· Allow any person—regardless of political affiliation—to stand for elections;

· Ensure that all positions of power are subject to democratic selection and control;

Power Sharing: Any government in which NPC will establish or take part must be willing to honour Article 9(3) of the
Constitution of Rwanda—equitable sharing of power—across the three branches of government, as well as in Rwanda’s security forces. NPC is an inclusive movement will apply principles of power-sharing to all political actors duly elected by the people.

THE ECONOMY
Our Pledge: NPC understands that economic success drives the kind of socioeconomic programs detailed in this Agreement. NPC, therefore, will focus heavily on economic development as a means of lifting Rwanda’s poorest citizens out of poverty and creating financial incentives for investment in the country. The source of Rwanda’s strength is our nation’s unique culture, beliefs, language, and work ethic. By harnessing our shared passion for success, together we can build a growing economy that will allow us to provide job opportunities, housing stability, and educational access for all.
Banking: NPC will promote borrowing and lending by simplifying securities, interests, and method of payment while maintaining sustainable banking practices conducive to a stable, opportunity-driven banking sector. NPC will:

· Establish a stable ownership structure and efficient management of banks by consolidating state-owned banks and other state-owned enterprises

· Modify regulations and support innovative financial institutions and instruments that mobilize private domestic savings to help fund community projects;

· Implement a systemic anti-crisis measure to prevent financial collapse;

· Review the government’s debt portfolio and ensure that funds held by the government, on behalf of the Rwandan people are properly managed;

· Centralize and reduce government borrowing by establishing a Public Finance Agency to monitor public debts and promote decency in public borrowing by establishing guidelines and guarantees for public borrowing, managing risks, and controlling the use of public finances; Comment

· Ensure normal operation of the secondary securities market by pricing government bonds to stabilize the price of new borrowing on the primary securities market.

Consumer Protection: NPC will protect consumers against any form of exploitation by establishing an official tariff and check method and by creating an environment conducive to competition. NPC will create a consumer watchdog agency to protect consumers from unfair lending practices.
Deficit Reduction: NPC will control government debt by managing reckless spending and ensuring that taxpayer money is spent responsibly. NPC will promote an open and transparent government founded on accountability.
Foreign Investment: NPC will use our embassies to exchange labour services for money as a means of reducing dependence on foreign aid and as an opportunity to contribute our resources to the development of other countries. The same will help Rwanda.
Free Trade: NPC supports regionally based free trade initiatives, to promote growth in the East African economy as a whole.
Immigration: NPC will seek to enrich our culture and strengthen our economy by simplifying immigration laws for citizens of other countries with whom we share common interests and values. NPC will introduce immigration reforms that simplify the issuance of visas and permits to foreigners who meet our economic, social and cultural needs.
Infrastructure: Economic success for individual Rwandans will only occur if the state helps to create an environment where innovation can succeed. NPC will ensure that Rwanda’s infrastructure—roads and railways, access to seaports, and telecommunications—are modern and fully operational.
Jobs: Unemployment is NPC’s first priority. All Rwandans who want to work should have the opportunity to do so.
Employment reduces the strain on government to provide social support, freeing up resources to focus on the elderly, marginalized, and disabled. NPC will:

· Hold summits in all sectors to develop job strategies;

· Institute mass public works programs and Youth Brigades;

· Optimize taxes, procurement, and monetary policy for job creation;

· Integrate regional development;

· Increase opportunities for self-employment, cooperatives, and small businesses through tax cuts designed to encourage hiring and new small business ventures;

· Target skills training for the unemployed, with an eye toward labour export;

NPC will lower short-term interest rates to encourage banks to lend money more freely. NPC will establish a monetary policy to guide the central bank in regulating banks, operating the national payment system, and complying with internationally approved monetary standards.
Peace: NPC recognizes that lasting peace is a prerequisite for true prosperity. For too long the divisions of the past have threatened our economic success. NPC will do everything in its power to promote a peaceful existence so that all Rwandans are free to open businesses, innovate, and explore, operating freely in the marketplace without fear or retribution.
Private Sector Investment: NPC will support labour intensive investment throughout our economy, as well as sectors that have large employment potentials, such as tourism, manufacturing, agriculture, and the extraction and refinement of raw materials. NPC will:

· Create incentives to encourage foreign and domestic investment in job-creating activities;

· Implement measures to discourage over-dependence on short-term capital flows and speculative investment;

Regulatory Structure: NPC will seek to enhance Rwanda’s status as a destination for doing business. NPC will seek to liberalize the economy by minimizing bureaucracy and easing the flow of commerce and capital into the country.
Small Businesses: NPC will create more job opportunities by making it easier for people to start their own businesses. NPC will change licensing laws; provide training and access to small businesses, with a particular focus on empowering women to participate more fully in the Rwandan economy.
Taxation: NPC will ensure that Rwanda has an efficient and fair tax system that develops people and the country economically. NPC will institute a comprehensive review of the current tax system to ensure basic fairness for the average citizen and business owner. NPC will:

SAFETY AND SECURITY
Our Pledge: NPC will facilitate a peaceful and secure environment in which people can live without fear of individuals or their government.
Armed Forces: NPC will oversee a reorganization of Rwanda’s armed forces to establish more checks and balances within our power structures. Under NPC, the Army will be on a strict volunteer basis—no Rwandan shall be compelled to serve if he or she does not wish to do so—and the army’s powers will be strictly limited to the nation’s defence. The military will no longer be used to police domestic matters or interfere in politics. Further, the Army will serve as a training ground for our nation’s youth, honing their technical and service skills.
NPC will also help guarantee the security of every tribe by building an armed force comprised of all tribes to collectively safeguard our national security. Lastly, NPC pledges to ensure that our armed forces have the support they need and that veterans are treated with the dignity that they deserve.

National Security: NPC will establish a safe and secure environment for all Rwandans, ensuring stable security institutions and restoring Rwanda’s territorial integrity.
Peace: NPC will finance a peace program within the government.
NPC will oversee a government where all Rwandans are free to seek redress. NPC will look to resolve disputes at their earliest stages and its government of inclusiveness should help to validate the importance of every Rwandan, not just those affiliated with a particular political party or ethnic group.
Policing: To protect Rwanda’s internal security, NPC will start at the community level, ensuring safety, neighbourhood by neighbourhood. NPC will emphasize preventative policing, asking officers to identify and resolve community issues before they escalate into criminal conduct or aggression. Rwanda’s shared prosperity can only become a reality once all Rwandans recognize that we need one another to survive and succeed.
This shared dependence extends to all spheres of our political, social, and economic existence as citizens of Rwanda. NPC’s long-term goal is to reduce the size of the police force as criminal activity wanes.
Reconciliation: NPC believes that Rwanda has not completed the healing process from our genocide. NPC promises to be a leader in the process that will allow all Rwandans to properly grieve and heal; forgive and reconcile; and look toward a future of genuine unity and tolerance. NPC will:

Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda and the United Nations
Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals to carry out their mandate and complete prosecution of the Rwandan genocide’s most heinous perpetrators;

Gacaca Courts:

· Rwanda’s National Courts: Reform the national courts so that they no longer function as a tool that serves the RPF regime, but rather as neutral arbiters open to the needs of all Rwandans

· National Unity & Reconciliation Program: NPC recognizes the need for continued unity and reconciliation as the current program has fallen far short. NPC will push forward a true and meaningful reconciliation process, first by earning the Rwandan people’s trust. NPC is an inclusive organization that integrates members of all tribes. Its founding members did not participate in previous conflicts or crimes. NPC will create a healing environment to restore confidence and trust in Rwanda’s government of the future.
Terrorism: We shall join the international community in its fight against terrorism, particularly with regard to weapons of mass destruction. NPC will adhere to the provision of the International Criminal Court and will cooperate fully with international bodies that seek to secure peace in this world.

CONCLUSION
NPC is a coalition committed to advancing democracy and freedom within Rwanda’s borders. NPC believes that the key to unlocking Rwanda’s full potential is to create a free and open environment in which each and every Rwandan has the tools and opportunity to succeed. Rwandans must be free to make the political, social, and economic choices that they think are best.
NPC will promote political inclusiveness and tolerance, respect for Rwanda’s constitution and laws, and will encourage the peaceful resolution of differences, in political and social spheres.
NPC will put people first. NPC will invest in jobs, secure housing, and quality education. NPC will unlock Rwanda’s true economic potential by providing the infrastructure, tax scheme, and regulatory environment to help local businesses grow in a sustainable way and attract foreign investment. NPC will provide a social safety net for those unable to provide for their own basic needs and will establish a reconstruction fund to atone for the wounds still unhealed from our genocidal past.
NPC will also seek out international aid and loans to empower Rwanda to reach its full capacity more quickly. A Rwandan government under NPC will be a safe and secure one, free of political prosecutions, where Rwandans resolve differences through dialogue, truth, and reconciliation.
