{{Residents of Ubutatu village, Agakomeye cell in Gatsibo district, after a long disagreement, allowed the cutting down of a historical tree known as \u2018trinity tree\u2019 to pave way for extension of electricity supply line in the area.}}<\/p>\n
The decision was taken when Odette Uwamariya, the governor of the Eastern province was visiting the place in a way to collect the citizens\u2019 ideas and problems.<\/p>\n
Epaphrodite Nshimiyimana, the priest of Kiziguro catholic parish said that though the tree helped in explaining the holy trinity of God, there is no problem if it is cut off for the public interests as it cannot replace God.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cThe tree cannot replace God; if there is a general developmental interest, it has to be removed and it does not hinder our belief.\u201d<\/p>\n
In a letter written by Laurent Rutinduka, a priest now living in the southern province, he says that he is ready to take to court anyone who will cut down the tree without communicating to him for it shows God\u2019s trinity.<\/p>\n
According to Kiziguro sector authority, the tree is in a parcel registered in Rutinduka\u2019s name.<\/p>\n
This decision was taken after a long controversial disagreement over the tree. The tree has historical and religious beliefs attached to it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
