several parastatals will soon pave way for developers as part of the implementation of the City of Kigali master plan. The decision was reached during Wednesday’s Cabinet meeting.The Minister in charge of Cabinet Affairs, Protais Musoni, said the move was meant to facilitate investments in line with the city master plan."The government is selling off good public plots to private investors and at the same time constructing other premises that will accommodate the affected institutions while adhering to the master plan,” Musoni said, in a telephone interview. Among those affected are the head offices of the Rwanda Public Procurement Authority (RPPA) and Media High Council (MHC), both located in the Central Business District (CBD), Nyarugenge District.The MHC premises will pave way for the construction of hospitality facilities such as apartments, hotels and hospitals, according to the master plan.Also to be allotted to investors is the parcel of land currently occupied by the national Post Office– IPOSITA – formerly the Ministry of Health and former head offices of Rwanda Revenue Authority (RRA), both in Muhima and former offices of IPOSITA in Kimihurura, Gasabo District.The 1.1 hectare piece of land in Kimihurura, Gasabo District, along the Airport Road, was handed over to city authorities by the government and has since been cleared; a move which city authorities said was aimed at facilitating any investor who might acquire it.The Kimihurura site, according to the master plan, will accommodate commercial and residential facilities.The affected institutions, Minister Musoni added, would temporarily be "operating from their (current) premises as the government looks for investors to develop those sites.”"It means that we are now going into the phase of privatization,” Musoni said.Several other public facilities have hitherto been allocated to investors. These include the former tourism offices – ORTPN – the head office of public broadcaster, Orinfor, as well as ETO Muhima, which was acquired by local investors to put up a 12-storey commercial facility worth Rwf 25 billion.The former ORTPN land was also acquired by Kigali Real Estate Developers to construct a12-storey commercial building.The former military court premises in Nyarugenge District was acquired by GENIMMO group, a subsidiary of SORAS insurance company, to pave way for US$15 million apartments..
