The decision follows the relocation of wetland dwellers which was conducted in the last months of 2019. The relocation was part of the City of Kigali urban plan aimed at improving the ecological functioning, aesthetics and recreational potential of the wetland areas.
Meteo Rwanda predicted that in March, April and May, Kigali will be affected by torrential rains more than other parts of the country.
The Ministry of Local Government stated that the relocation initiative was driven by the need to protect citizens who live in high-risk zones and wetlands and urged landlords not to increase rent prices due to the high number of people in need of homes.
