Bizimana said that there is need for support, especially to expand the performance in rural areas, because development activities are being implemented in these areas which are lacking sound banking services.
For instance, the employees of Nyabikenke Hospital were reported to need banking services and opening accounts with BK.
“The Nyabikenke hospital will have many employees, but they need to have a BK branch so that they can access BK services more easily. We would like you to transfer these services to the Muhanga branch to make it easier for this community,” Bizimana said.
