HUYE – Huye District has earmarked Rwf900 million for the installation of street lights on several roads and streets in the main town, stretching a distance of 17.3km.According to the district mayor, Eugene Muzuka Kayiranga, the process is set to be carried out in four phases and is expected to be completed in two years. “The first phase will cover Rwabuye-Mukoni road (4.5 Km) and it has already started. We hope it will be completed in the next eight months”, Muzuka said. CBS, a local construction company, is executing the works.Other areas to get the lights include; Mukoni-Tumba-Rango (1.3 km) road, city centre-Matyazo (3.5km) and city centre-Taba (8km).The project is largely funded by the central government.Residents of the town welcomed the move noting it would help urbanize the area. “There are spots which are scary at night, but after the installations it will be very different; it’s a very important project for us,” said Damascene Ntakirutimana, a local resident.
