“Remembering the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi isn’t for granted, but everyone’s responsibility. As Bank of Kigali, it is our responsibility to remember our former staff that sacrificed through hard work to build the institution that we are working for now, and they were killed in cold blood,” Chief Executive Officer of Bank of Kigali Dr. Diane Karusisi, said.
