Nsabimana Emmanuel who was living in the Gitarama celll in Nyamabuye Sector, Muhanga District expressed his sorrow concerning the fact that his house has been destroyed by local authorities. He said that he built the house having all the needed permits and under the sight of everyone.
The former soldier Nsabimana Emmanuel said that he has come from the DRC and has been reintergrated and demobilized by the Commission.
He has been equipped with all skills, knowledge and money to start his business that consisted of metal welding. He had 120 000 Rwandan francs for the business.
He got money from the business and chose to build a house in the areas surrounding his mother residence as to remain closer to her. He said the local authorities were informed about the building and agreed to that.
Nsabimana says that he could not continue to build the house if someone might have warned him to stop the building but none did.
For him, destroying this house without any warning is violation of his rights.
The Executive secretary of the Nyamabuye sector, Mugunga Jean Baptiste denies the claims according which Nsabimana has searched for construction permits as the officials wrote two letters warning him not to continue building, but he continued, authorities say.
Mugunga warned inhabitants not to pay money to officials who will not defend them when their houses will be destroyed.
The construction permit is worthy between 30 and 40 thousand Rwandan francs. However, local authorities are accused to be financially corrupted when they are providing such construction permits.
The saddest reality is that those officials don’t face the same loses compared to the ones of the inhabitants.
