Nyagatare: Five months later, displaced families receive their compensations

{Nyagatare District has started to compensate over hundred and fifty five displaced families of Rusumo Cell in Rwimiyaga sector after five months complaining the money they had spent for the purchase of land in that sector.}

It is reportedly said over 70 families have already been compensated.

This action will repay the money to the families established on an area intended for rearing cows.

Meanwhile the displaced families will be shown another area where they can buy new lands and establish their new homes.

Each of these families has received at least Frw 750,000, enough to be offered a sufficient field in Nyagatare as Muganwa Stanley, Vice- Mayor of the District confirmed to IGIHE.

“No one of these families will be out of action,” he added. He also justified the measure to expropriate these agricultural farmers who bought land to cultivate in a breeding space. For the Vice- Mayor, “We must comply with directives from above. Agricultural areas do not mix with those of livestock. We helped those who bought the land for farming to be reimbursed and relocate their agricultural activities in there appropriate spaces”.
