The majority of residents of Bikingi village are Rwandans sent away from Tanzania, repatriated from DRC and vulnerable residents relocated from risky zones. <\/p>\n

They say the houses in which they live are not registered in their names and deprived of rights to access bank loans. <\/p>\n

\u201cMost of us were classified in the 3rd Ubudehe category. Whoever falls sick, we pray for him\/her or apply traditional medicine,\u201d said one resident. <\/p>\n

Another resident queried; \u201cHow can you claim ownership of the house yet you have no documents showing it is registered in your name.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cHad they given us land registration documents, we would be eligible to access loans in SACCOs,\u201d said another resident. <\/p>\n

{{Hurdles to find food }}<\/p>\n

Residents of Bikingi repatriated from Tanzania can only plough around the home compounds without any other land. Others relocated from disaster risky zones say their land is quite far away that they hardly cultivate it. <\/p>\n

\u201c As you see us, we are surviving on hard labor. We had been promised land to cultivate but we have kept waiting till today,\u201d said a resident. <\/p>\n

\u201cFrom here to the place where my land is located, it requires walking 10 hours. SO it becomes uneasy to go there every day,\u201d said another resident. <\/p>\n

The mayor of Nyabihu district, Uwanzwenuwe Th\u00e9oneste, has told IGIHE that the matter is known but apparently there is \u2018no land available to offer them\u2019. <\/p>\n

\u201cThey have showed that they have a problem of finding land to cultivate. But you know that there is no public land available. The government cannot find land to offer to all citizens in need but the district\u2019s commission in charge of the matter will seek what to do,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

Uwanzwenuwe explained that living in these houses without land documents doesn\u2019t mean they don\u2019t belong to them. <\/p>\n

\u201cThey should approach the sector department in charge of land registration but we will too send a team to study the nature of the problem of land,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n

The budget officer in Red Cross Rwanda, Ndimbati Pierre Claver which contributed in building the houses on the land provided by Nyabihu district explained that the houses belong to citizens adding that their management was handed to the government. <\/p>\n
