According to Rwanda Civil Aviation Authority bags for liquids at the airport are not only allowed but are necessary

I just returned from my trip to Rwanda, and while I cannot offer a definitive answer to my question, I can say from personal experience that I observed nobody searching the luggage of arriving travelers for plastic bags.

I also agree with Michael Hampton’s comments about the English version of the law. It’s not very well written. The intent certainly seems to be to cover thin bags for shop purchases, not freezer bags.

Unfortuntately, I forgot to note whether anyone looked at my plastic bag of carry-on liquids when I checked in for my departing flight.

It also did not occur to me until just now that I should have looked in the supermarket to see whether they sell plastic freezer bags (I suspect that they do).

I will probably be returning to Rwanda in a couple of months; if I do, I will edit this answer as I find more relevant information.
