Burundi: Ministers And Provincial Governors Receive Leadership Training

Bujumbura — The International Leadership Foundation began a training program today to teach cabinet ministers and governors of province to better work for the benefit of the population. The theme of this training program is â-šThe transformation of the Leadership towards the Revival of Burundi." In his opening address opening this three-day event, President Nkurunziza said that â-šBurundi is endowed with all potentialities to set it on the orbit of the prosperous countries...but the Burundian leadership has to change its mentality first in order to reach this aim."

Cabinet ministers and governors of provinces will discuss how to change their attitudes. Changing mentalities was the pillar of the current President of the Republic's address when he was sworn-in two years ago. Yet nothing has utterly changed. Economic crimes have increased; violations of human rights has not decreased; the illegal sale of the Falcon 50 jet continues to haunt the government; bribes that the ruling party received before the reconstruction of the road Bujumbura-Rumonge has internal strife within CNDD-FDD and the murder of 31 innocent people in Muyinga province continue to dog the government.
