Several local leaders, including Nkurunziza Ronald, Henry Nsabiyeremye, and Alex Ainembabazi, praised Kasyaba’s commitment to the Batwa people, commending him for actively bridging gaps between majority and minority communities. They noted that previous leaders only engaged with the Batwa during election periods, often neglecting them afterward. Kasyaba’s approach, however, has been consistent and genuinely community-focused.
Cue in: Local Leaders
Chairperson Kasyaba’s tenure has driven substantial development across Rubanda District, particularly in healthcare, education, and infrastructure. His inclusive approach and dedication to uniting diverse communities have inspired local leaders and residents alike, setting a strong example of leadership that prioritizes unity and growth for all members of society.
