Evictees around former State House compensated

KICUKIRO - Government yesterday compensated 96 families who, in 1994, were evicted for security reasons from the neighbourhood of the former State House in Kanombe, that housed ex-President Pasteur Bizimungu. The Mayor of Kicukiro Paul Jules Ndamage said the evictees had neither been relocated nor compensated at the time of the eviction. After Bizimungu stepped down, the government sent the evictees back to their homes but most of their property had been damaged or destroyed.
