The impassable road that runs from Kigali International Airport to Kanombe Military Hospital will receive a face-lift before the end of this year, according to Kicukiro Mayor, William Ntidendereza.

This was in response to an outcry by area residents complaining about the dust and the pot holes that dominate the road, and the inconvenience they face while commuting to and from their work places.

Ntidendereza told The New Times on Friday in a phone interview that the route was among the 33 kilometres of roads to be rehabilitated.

"The budget for the construction of the 33 kilometres of roads in Kigali has already been approved and construction is to begin before the end of this year. I am sure that road is among those tabled for construction,” Ntidendereza said.

Residents complain that they have trouble commuting on this road because of its bad condition. They also say that taxis do not want to ferry passengers to this part of Kigali, making it hard to access transport facilities.

Attempts to consult the Executive Secretary of Kanombe Sector before we went to press were futile .
