This is equivalent to trying to sell a cop drugs while he’s in uniform in his police car.

I honestly think we need to start having more balanced conversations around accountability, especially among us young entrepreneurs . Not every situation is simply about blaming authorities or portraying ourselves as victims. In this particular case, one thing that stood out to me was the lack of acknowledgment toward the institutions and people who initially supported the project. If the City of Kigali and even the Ministry of youth took their time to mediate and support someone’s vision, that shouldn’t be overlooked. Gratitude is part of our culture and it matters. We should not forget that , agreements are agreements. If there was a contract with clear obligations on both sides, then responsibility also has to be respected. Having influence, fame or a large online following shouldn’t place anyone above accountability. Of recent i have also noticed a growing tendency where, once consequences come in, the conversation immediately shifts to victimization instead of reflection. We saw similar reactions in the recent DC Clement case, where he openly admitted giving “giving a kickback ” to facilitate a project in a non-permitted area, but once the issue caught up with him, many people focused only on portraying him as a victim. Young entrepreneurs deserve support, opportunities and mentorship, absolutely. But we also need to encourage responsibility and ownership of our actions. I think both conversations can exist at the same time. Social media often rewards emotional reactions faster than nuanced reflection, which can sometimes make honest self assessment more difficult. Wishing you all you a happy weekend ahead!
