Rwanda National Police (RNP) on Thursday hosted an 18-member delegation from Uganda’s Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) at its General Headquarters in Kacyiru.
The visit, part of a wider working mission to Rwanda, focused on exploring smart policing solutions and integrated traffic management systems aimed at boosting urban mobility and public safety in Kampala.
Led by senior KCCA officials, the delegation was briefed on Rwanda’s cutting-edge traffic enforcement strategies, road safety frameworks, and the country’s broader digital transformation in public transport regulation.
Commissioner of Police George Rumanzi, the RNP Commissioner for Operations and Public Order, welcomed the delegation and presented the pillars underpinning Rwanda’s road safety strategy.
“Our approach is grounded in three core pillars: community engagement, education, and the smart use of technology,” CP Rumanzi said.
“An informed and involved public is just as critical as robust enforcement. Technology is not a one-time fix — it’s an evolving tool that we continuously adapt to enhance safety and efficiency on our roads.”
He emphasized the seamless integration of RNP’s IT systems with both public and private platforms, enabling efficient service delivery in key areas such as vehicle inspection, driving tests, speed regulation, and real-time traffic monitoring.
As part of the visit, the delegation toured the Remera Automobile Inspection Centre in Gasabo District.
There, they observed firsthand how modern systems are used to verify vehicle roadworthiness and ensure compliance with safety standards.
The group also visited RNP’s centralized traffic command center, where they were introduced to Rwanda’s high-tech traffic enforcement infrastructure — including speed cameras, digital surveillance systems, and real-time road monitoring tools.
The visit forms part of KCCA’s week-long working tour in Rwanda, running from July 7, focused on exchanging best practices in urban mobility and transport governance.
It underscores the growing spirit of regional cooperation and shared innovation among East African institutions seeking to build safer, smarter cities.
