Some residents in Murambi sector Gatsibo district formerly living grass thatched houses(Nyakatsi) have sought government intervention due to terrible conditions they are living.
Michel Habarurema one of those former tenants of Nyakatsi decried his house’s one side knock down with his family sleeps opposite their livestock that include goats and hens.
The toilet hole not covered and only a hole with pieces of banana stems laid on it.
Speaking to Invaho Nshya, Habarurema said that the house is not his and he can’t afford renovation by his own.
He said, “I am worried about the conditions I am living in with my family.” And has no medical insurance.
“I have been registered among people to be paid for by the government but I am not on the published lists.” Habarurema decried.
District authority confirmed the development but said that they have handed the matter to relevant authorities to correct the lists.
Tharcisse Nizeyimana, in charge of social affairs in Murambi sector said that they started with the poorest people.
“Since poor people were very many, we began with people terribly in need.” He said,
In the program of helping poor people especially those from Nyakatsi, only 2000 sheets metals were provided whereas the total number needed was exceeding 4000.
