Besides investment, residents also need basic infrastructures like roads and others,\u201d he said.   <\/p>\n<p>The Governor also toured Karongi cross border market under construction in Ruganda. The market will be used by traders from Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).  <\/p>\n<p>As he visited Rugabano model village, residents appealed for support to get fodder for their cattle.   <\/p>\n<p>The village is home to over 328 families comprised of 1000 residents.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese residents have voiced appreciation to President of the Republic Paul Kagame who settled them in decent shelters. They are living in beautiful houses that some of them dwell in split level homes,\u201d said Habitegeko.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey however have some problems including lack of pasture.  There are investors who provided land on which they can grow fodder but we are making arrangements so that we can find fodder to feed these cows donated by President of the Republic,\u201d he added.  <\/p>\n<p>Among others, Governor Habitegeko visited hillside irrigation projects in the surroundings of Ndaba Rock and Rugabano tea plant.  <\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-38315 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/model_village-2.jpg\" alt=\"Rugabano model village is one of visited infrastructures.  \" \/><\/figure>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-38316 aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/en-images.igihe.com\/jpg\/habitegeka_aa.jpg\" alt=\"Governor Habitegeko (second from right) with other officials visiting Rugabano model village.  \" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>{The Governor of Western Province, Fran\u00e7ois Habitegeko has toured development projects under construction including roads, luxury hotel boat expected to facilitate movement on Lake Kivu among other infrastructures being developed in Karongi district. }  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":62,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[72,75],"byline":[170],"hashtag":[],"class_list":["post-43358","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-featured-news-home","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\/43358","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\/62"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43358"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43358\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43358"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=43358"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=43358"},{"taxonomy":"byline","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/byline?post=43358"},{"taxonomy":"hashtag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.igihe.com\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/hashtag?post=43358"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
