The recent rainfall has left Nyabogogo-Kinamba-Kacyiru road flooded causing heavy traffic jam and business standstill near bus terminal.
About five hundred meters in length of the road were flooded due to allegedly the place being close to the wetland.
A new income opportunity for young men around the area begun as they begun lifting people on their back to assist them cross the flooded part of the road.
“This road floods and people want to cross to the end and they don’t have a way out, so I offered my service by lifting them and they pay me Rwf 100,” One young man only identified as Musa said.
This follows last week’s Prime Minister Pierre Damien Habumuremyi’s visit to the area where he instructed the ministry of infrastructure to make terms of reference in one month for experts top carry out a deeper study to solve the flooding problem at Nyabugogo.
According to Bruno Rangira the Kigali city Director of Communications said that technical study to solve the problem is highly needed so as to have a solution once and for all.
Rangira said the study needs to look into aspects of drainage systems, roads and houses being near the wetland and the like.
He estimates that all the work needed to be complimented mid next year.
