Kigali needs modern, affordable houses for low-income citizens

Editor,

The City of Kigali authorities should also think about people with low income. They are many in this city; we can say that they represent more than half of the population living in Kigali, and they need modest dwellings that are affordable and commensurate with their income.

Most of these people have a monthly income between Rwf 50,000 and Rwf 200,000. Therefore, the City of Kigali should facilitate construction of affordable houses that people can rent at reasonable cost without compromising their subsistence.
