In fighting them, all institutions complement each other, and should work together in everything. No institution can replace another, interfere in its duties, or contradict it.

President Kagame also added that more efforts should be put in educating Rwandans about their rights, help them understand the laws meant to protect them, and the institutions that they can run to.
