Editor,Unfortunately, we will see more of such tragedies happening as long as our authorities do not see that building on hilly areas without proper planning is unsafe and a time bomb.

Look at Nyamirambo, Gatsata and other places. They have cleared all trees and houses have mushroomed where trees used to be. Trees used to prevent soil erosion in the area. Also, I have never understood why getting papers for building better houses will take you years, let alone getting a plot. City authorities please change; otherwise, history will judge you for all those people who have died.Kalisa William, Remera (Reaction to a story ‘Heavy rains wipe out Kigali family’ The NewTimes, November, 1)
