Introduction
- What is Sobanukirwa for? #
- To help you find out inside information about what the Rwandan government is doing.
- How does the site work? #
- You choose the public authority that you would like information from, then write a brief note describing what you want to know. We then send your request to the public authority. Any response they make is automatically published on the website for you and anyone else to find and read.
- Why would I bother to do this? #
- You pay taxes, and then government does things with the money. All sorts of things that affect your life, from agriculture through to national defence. Some it does badly, some it does well. The more we find out about how government works, the better able we are to make suggestions to improve the things that are done badly, and to celebrate the things that are done well.
- Why would the public authority bother to reply? #
- Under Rwanda's access to information law, they have to respond. The response will either contain the information you want, or give a valid legal reason why it must be kept confidential.
- Who makes Sobanukirwa? #
- Sobanukirwa is created and run by Migisha K. Claude and Stephen Abbott Pugh, in partnership with the Open Democracy and Sustainable Development Initiative.
- How can I keep up with news about Sobanukirwa?#
- We have a blog and a Twitter feed.
