Destruction of ORINFOR buildings has already begun to pave way for the construction of new and modern apartments by a new investor as required under new city modernization standards.
The city council of Kigali has sold off the land where ORINFOR has been operating for so many years. The Rwf900M has already been paid to the city council.
Igihe.com has learnt that the Executive Investment Group has acquired the ORINFOR plot and will construct modern apartments in the area. This is in the line with the current renovation process of the capital city.
The Lord Mayor of Kigali city Fidele Ndayisaba, confirms that before the beginning of the next year, both National Television and Radio should have relocated to another place and removed their equipment.
Willy Rukundo, the Acting Director ORINFOR, is in the agreement of renovating the city but then raised the fear saying that the construction company meant to construct the building where ORINFOR will transfer their materials said that the process will take over 8 months.
By now ORINFOR is to leave its current working station to the place called OBK in Kacyiru, Kigali city near Village Urugwiro and the building is to cost worth US$5M yet the process will take almost a year.
The city council also says it is yet to sell other areas around Kigali Serena Hotel for the construction of other modern apartments and modern hotels.
Kigali city council intends to shape the city into a modern look without old fashioned houses.
