Umunyamakuru: Gerageza gusobanurira umusomyi akazi ukora muri iri garaji

Umuhire: Nkora umwuga wo kubandika band frein z’imodoka; mfata amapiyese(piece) y’imodoka yashaje agendanye na feri nkayafata yarashizeho nkongera nkayasubiza ubuziranenge akongera agakora, muri make icyo gihe ntabwo imodoka iba ibasha gufata feri ariko jye mfata amapiyese nkongera nkayanoza neza imodoka ikabasha gufata feri nyirayo akirenda impanuka!

Umunyamakuru: Ni ukubera iki wahisemo gukora ibyo?

Umuhire: Kuva kera nkiri mutoya jye nakundaga ibintu by’ubukanishi (…) noneho nkumva ubuyobozi buvuga ngo ‘Mwihangire imirimo!’ ndeba kudoda nsanga ni abantu benshi babikora, ndeba gusuka, gukora inzara nsanga ni abantu benshi babikora kandi ari urubyiruko noneho ndavuga nti ‘Reka jye ndebe ibitarakorwa n’abantu benshi, ni byo birimo amahirwe!’

Ubwo ngeze Uganda nahisemo kwiga ibijyanye na feri (frein) y’imodoka kubera ko nasanze binyoroheye kuruta ibindi byose nabonaga; nabonye kugenda nkora amabuwate (Boîte), amamoteri(moteur) mbona ntabishobora mpitamo gukora ibi kubera ko byoroheje kuri jye kandi bikaba bijyane n’imbaraga mfite.

Umunyamakuru: Wahereye kuki ujya gutangira uyu mwuga wawe?

Umuhire: Nta gikoresho na kimwe nari mfite nta n’amafaranga nari mfite kubera ko nari nkiri moto; icyo nahereyeho rero ni igitekerezo, nagize igitekerezo cy’uyu mushinga ndagenda mbibwira ababyeyi bampa amafaranga ibihumbi 220 njya kugura udukoresho tw’ibanze muri Uganda.

Ubwo narabyemeye barabimpa, ndabikora, babyambika imodoka nuko barazenguruka bagarutse mu igaraji basanga nta kibazo gihari barongera barangerageza basanga nabwo nta kibazo, niko kunyemerera nkajya nkorana nabo. Ntibyanditse hamwe n’amafaranga nabonaga nahise nza gukorera mu igaraji nk’abandi bakanishi bose.

Umuhire ahamagarira abakobwa bumva ko bazabeshwaho no ’gukura ibyinyo’ abasore guhindura imitekerereze

Umunyamakuru: uti ‘hamwe n’amafaranga nabonaga’, Ese ubundi ubasha kwinjiza amafaranga angana gute muri uyu mwuga?

Umunyamakuru: Nka rwiyemezamirimo ukiri muto, ni ibihe bizazane wagiye uhura nabyo kuva utangiye kugeza uyu munsi?

Umuhire: Ni ibizazane bishingiye ku guhomba. Ubwa mbere natangiye mpomba ariko ndabyihanganira; nahombye ibihumbi 30, narongeye mpomba ibihumbi 80 bituma ngisha inama musaza wanjye arambwira ngo ‘akenshi umuntu ugitangira business niko bigenda’ byatumye numva nkomeye nkurikiza inama yangiriye nuko sinongera guhomba.

Byakurikiwe n’uko ahubwo nahise nunguka amafaranga ibihumbi 140 nuko binyongerera imbaraga zo kurushaho gukora cyane.

Umunyamakuru: Ubundi abakiliya bawe ni bande?

Ku myaka yanjye ni byinshi; icyambere nabashije kwigurira ibikoresho bijyanye n’igihe nkoresha mu kazi kanjye, ngura akamashini kagura ibihumbi Magana tanu kabandika discs.

Magingo aya iyo mbaze agaciro k’ibyo maze kwigezaho mbikesha aka kazi nsanga katari munsi ya Miliyoni Eshatu z’amafaranga y’u Rwanda.

Nkorana na banki, ntabwo nsesagura ngo amafaranga nyapfushe ubusa, aya mafaranga ngomba kuyabyaza umusaruro nk’uko mba nayavunikiye.

Umunyamakuru: Muri aka kazi waba uhura n’izihe mbogamizi?

Umuhire: Imbogamizi nkunze guhura nayo ni iy’ibikoresho; mbikura kure, mbikura i Kampala, kugira ngo bingereho bisaba iminsi ibiri, indi mbogamizi mfite ni iy’uko ibikoresho byanjye bitajyanye n’igihe; ntibibasha kunoza ibyo nkora nk’uko mba nifuza ngo bibe bishya mbese nanjye mbashe kuba nabishyira mu gikarito ngo nandikeho ‘Made in Rwanda’ ku buryo nabiranguza no hanze y’igihugu.

Umunyamakuru: Ubona nk’uwaza ashaka kugutera inkunga ari he yakwibanda?

Umuhire: Namusaba kumfasha kubona imashini inoza neza ibyo nkora bikagaragara neza ku isoko. Ni nabwo aka kazi kanjye karushaho gushesha agaciro igihugu, bikagaragara ko ibyo nkora bikorerwa inaha mu Rwanda.

Uhereye ku kuntu watagiye n’intambwe umaze kwigezaho gira impanuro uha urubyiruko by’umwihariko abana b’abakobwa.

Inama mpa urubyiruko ni ukutagira umwuga numwe basuzugura bumva ko batazategereza akazi kuri Leta gusa (…) abakobwa bo ndabasaba kurya utwo bavunikiye, bakikuramo imyumvire yateye y’uko bagomba gukura ibyinnyo abasore; abo ndabasaba kuva muri ubwo buyobe, bagatekereza uko bahanga imirimo ibahesha agaciro.
