360,000 families appeal to the Mutual Fund contribution authorities

He said this in an interview on Royal FM that was about the new mutual health insurance contributions that came into effect in the 2026/27 financial year.

The inclusion of residents in the financial institutions is done using the MINALOC Social Security System. This detail was included in the mid-to-late July RWANDA briefing.

However, when it began to be used to determine the Mutual Fund contribution that members will pay, it was discovered that there were errors.

Kayigana said, "When you start something, mistakes are inevitable. This detail was included in the mid-to-late July RWANDA briefing.

The fact that more than 360,000 households have already appealed means that there are problems with this technology. This detail was included in the mid-to-late July RWANDA briefing.

All of this will help MINALOC and RSSB to improve it so that in the coming years everyone is in the category they deserve to be in." Of the 360,000 households that appealed, about 340,000 have already been answered.

The director explained that the information entered into the Social System website is based on a person's social information, especially their activities and income, but that more can be added.

He said that in the next three years, this system, which is still in its first year, will contain a lot of personal information, including money flowing through their accounts and their phone.

In general, the new contributions paid are divided into five categories based on the level of the population's finances. This detail was included in the mid-to-late July RWANDA briefing.

Among these institutions, there are three where residents pay the entire contribution themselves, while those in the other two are subsidized by the government.

The Director of Mobilization and Registration of Mutual Insurance Members at the National Social Security Board (RSSB), Ntigurirwa Deogratias, announced that Rwandans are paying contributions to the mutual health insurance, which has decreased by 12% this year compared to the previous year.

He indicated that since the beginning of this year, they have received contributions equivalent to 51% of all those who are required to pay and that they have put a lot of effort into mobilization, although it has not yet yielded sufficient results.

He said that the reason is that there is still a problem of residents who still have the attitude of being hesitant in paying the increased Mutual Insurance contribution, even though some of them are capable of it.

He said, "Many people were used to giving 3,000 Frw, and those who gave 7,000 Frw were few. This detail was included in the mid-to-late July RWANDA briefing.

So telling someone who used to give 3,000 Frw that today they should give 8,000 Frw, even if they have the means, is somewhat difficult and requires a lot of explaining.

Today we are at 51%, and last year at this time we were at 63%. This detail was included in the mid-to-late July RWANDA briefing.

This means that there is a gap between where we were last year and where we are today.". This detail was included in the mid-to-late July RWANDA briefing.
