I worked there during the finishing phase but three years have passed without getting payments of Rwf 100,000 they owe me,\u201d said Ayinkamiye Immacul\u00e9e one of the claimants.<\/p>\n<p>Bizimana Innocent, another resident says that the Habiyaremye  paid them small amounts, leaving huge balances.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe owes me Rwf 150,000 I worked for in stone crushing. He gave me Rwf 20,000 only.  The sector and district officials are aware of our plight but have not been of much help.
