Kigali should not be a speculators’ paradise

For a country the size of Rwanda, land is a very precious commodity. It becomes even more priceless when over 90% of its population depend on agriculture. As the city expands, more land is needed for development projects, therefore today’s subsistence farmers will find themselves compelled to relocate elsewhere. And they need financial means to do so. People expropriated in Kinyinya as far back as two years ago have been waiting for their payment in vain. Some are not even allowed to farm on their land as they wait for their money, and no one seems to have a solution for their plight.
