{{The government of Rwanda has lost more than $ 4 million (Rwf 2.5 billion) due to some of the Infrastructure projects poorly studied by the contractors, said the Secretary of State in the Ministry of Infrastructure, Emma Francoise Isumbingabo, addressing the Committee on Political Affairs and Gender promotion, March 20th 2014.}}
In 2006, HPI (International Hydropower) was offered the contract for the construction of seven small hydroelectric dams for a period of one year against a budget of U.S. $ 12,767,256.19.
Isumbingabo said that construction activities have not been completed up to date and those completed need to be rehabilitated, adding that the company was unable to complete its contract.
For the Minister, the deficit in the project was caused by poor evaluation studies of the scope of the work.
She warned all those who are responsible for the failure of the project noting that they will be punished for their weakness, irresponsibility and ignorance presented throughout the project implementation.
