{After the announcement of demolishing his house by Kicukiro district, 68 year old Munyawera Seth a resident of Kigarama sector was defended by the land title he was offered in 1987.}
The title which was offered to him by MINITRAP during that time showed his ownership of land including measurements.
Munyawera was informed that, the district was coming to destroy his house because; he had extended and built his house on some part of his current neighbor, Mukabagire Console.
In August this year IGIHE published a story saying 68 year old Munyawera Seth had spent 1year on pressure and threats to demolish his house.
As time went on the case grew bigger and bigger, but finally it has been settled by district authorities.
For the second time, Munyawera was offered a letter informing him to prepare for the house destruction after being charged of extending the construction of his house on Mukabagire’s land.
Speaking to IGIHE, Munyawera went to the Gikondo police station for assistance, before meeting the court authorities for justice.
The police assisted him to reach the district authorities, where he was told the problem was going to be settled.
When he was preparing for his house demolition at 2: am as he had been told, he was fortunately defended by the measurements which appeared on his land title and the land title of Mukabagire which were offered in 1987.
During the 1987, when he was given the land title, it was kept at Kicukiro district.
During that time, he was a neighbor of Michel sibomana since 1982, who later sold his land to Mukabagire Console in1999.
Mukabagire was claiming, she lost 3.5 meters of her land to Munyawera Seth which led to the conflict between the two.
These claims came as result of misunderstandings, from the two neighbors which started in the 2012 when 3.5metres came as the main cause.
However, when the technician from Kicukuro district arrived for measurements based on the land titles of 1987, the results came out and found out it was Mukabagire who had stolen part of Munyawera’s land.
After the measurements, Munyawera was happy with the result while Mukabagire wasn’t appreciated with the final results from the district authorities.
According to Mukankusi Marceline, the head of public relations at Kicukiro district she managed to convince the two parties to put signs to separate their land in order to avoid future quarrels and misunderstandings.
