Some of the residents in Kibungo town have been given one week to demolish houses they built illegally before Ngoma District Authorities take action.
This is meant for residents of Kibungo sector and some part of Remera sector who were warned by the district administration over using non burnt bricks in building but preceded with their idea.
This was resolved during the meeting of Eastern Province administration and Ngoma district authorities that was held on 1st August 2012.
However, residents in question ask district authorities to give them shelter where they can be staying after their houses are destroyed as they have nowhere else to go.
One resident narrates: “We admit the mistake but we have nowhere else to go. Should we demolish these houses and sleep outside? They should give us a place to live in.”
Alexis Rugaju, in charge of district development in Eastern Province revealed to the media that the resolution is aimed at eradicating illegal buildings that do not match vision 2020 expectations.
Rugaju asserts: “Building against the law is prohibited and sensitization continues.”
