AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Anti-corruption Watch: Rwanda’s neighbours Uganda suspended two engineers over alleged embezzlement tied to the Busega–Mpigi Expressway probe, with officials ordered to hand over project records and barred from duties pending IGG investigations. Digital Payments: Rwanda rolled out eKash, a national instant digital payment system enabling P2P transfers across banks and mobile wallets, with transfer limits and capped fees set by the National Bank of Rwanda. Sports & Tourism Marketing: Visit Rwanda landed a major new front-of-shirt deal with English Premier League club Aston Villa worth about £20m a year, expanding Rwanda’s football branding beyond sleeves—while Amnesty International warned the sponsorship could be used for “sportswashing.” Travel Rules: Spain announced visa-free short stays (up to 90 days) for citizens of eight African countries including Rwanda, and Kenya listed African countries whose citizens can enter visa-free in 2026, with Rwanda included. Regional Mobility: Ethiopia also published an updated list of countries eligible for tourist visas on arrival.
