The move was revealed yesterday by City of Kigali Mayor, Marie-Chantal Rwakazina at the RPF General Assembly of CoK. <\/p>\n
CoK sets the target following heavy rains that killed over 200 people across the country in the first quarter of 2018.<\/p>\n
Rwakazina said that the exercise will start by relocating people living in the hills of Rebero and Jali before the heavy rains period starts.<\/p>\n
Rwakazina who was, at the general assembly, elected the RPF chairperson in the CoK, pledged that she will fast-track the exercise to relocate people in places which put their lives in danger.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs the RPF chairperson and City mayor, I promise to accelerate the project to relocating 13,000 people from high risk zones during the period of one year. This is part of master-plan implementation, making Kigali clean but most importantly to protect people\u2019s lives,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n
She said that the exercise will start from the most vulnerable families living in high hilly places and those living in dilapidated houses. <\/p>\n
The CoK also conducts sensitization among families living in high risk zones to relocate and resettle in safe places.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
