Rwanda Today has learnt that a meeting by the Rwanda Private Sector Federation had resolved to reroute the trucks stationed in Dar es Salaam to Kenya where they are expected to bring the much-needed cement to urgently plug a shortage in the market.
Andre Bitwayiki who heads a firm running heavy-duty trucks facilitating the import of goods including cement confirmed the development but did not indicate exactly how many trucks deployed, volumes, and when they expected the consignments to start arriving.
