We have so far received demand from many investors.  We are currently under the phase of examining what investment suits the master plan so that the project can start,\u201d he said.  <\/p>\n<p> The chairperson of CHIC, Tharcisse Ngabonziza has told IGIHE that they decided to build apartments and waiting for the City of Kigali\u2019s approval.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have pitched the project, agreed on all the basics and waiting for the City of Kigali\u2019s feedback. It is obvious that the case is being examined with urgency,\u201d he said.<br \/>\nNgabonziza explained that they plan to build apartments for low and middle-income earners in three categories.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe land is made of over 8 hectares.  We observed that only five hectares can be exploited because the rest is located on elevated land where it is impossible The budget to put to use the land has not yet been established but the number of apartments is estimated between 700 and 800 units. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-32895 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/ry6b4887-2-7d9f9.jpg\" alt=\"It is almost two years since over 3000 inmates were vacated from Nyarugenge Prison commonly known as 1930 to Mageragere Prison.\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is almost two years since over 3000 inmates were vacated from Nyarugenge Prison commonly known as 1930 to Mageragere Prison.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[75],"byline":[170],"hashtag":[],"class_list":["post-40228","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-homenews","byline-igihe"],"bylines":[{"id":170,"name":"IGIHE","slug":"igihe","description":"","image":{"id":0,"url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&f=y&r=g","alt":"Default avatar","title":"Default avatar","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","sizes":[]},"user_id":8}],"contributors":[{"id":170,"name":"IGIHE","slug":"igihe","description":"","image":{"id":0,"url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/?s=96&d=mm&f=y&r=g","alt":"Default avatar","title":"Default avatar","caption":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","sizes":[]},"user_id":8}],"featured_image":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40228","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40228"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40228\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40228"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40228"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40228"},{"taxonomy":"byline","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/byline?post=40228"},{"taxonomy":"hashtag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hashtag?post=40228"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
