Domestic infrastructure is shoddy. The electricity supply is meagre and expensive. Outside Kigali, naked flames often provide the only artificial light. The government aims to increase power capacity tenfold by 2017. Transport is tough, too. Rwanda wants to be a regional trade hub, linking all the areas where Kinyarwanda is spoken (see map). But reaching a port is an ordeal. A government study found that it takes a lorry four days and $864 in bribes to make it from Mombasa to Kigali. It must stop at 36 roadblocks and ten weighbridges, many of them manned by thieves in uniform.
Still, the Legatum Institute argues that Rwanda shows that the rule of law can take root in Africa. Here’s hoping.
