The Mugunga family wrote a letter to H.E Paul Kagame revealing to Him its concerns. Meanwhile Kinyinya administration says Mugunga still has chances to exploit :
“We told them to lent a house and we decided to pay for it within three months long.We did not knw that thy had legally accepted papers that expropriation procedures were not fair enough . Now that we know they have it they claim to RSSB and we can revisit the decision” says Chrétien Mberabahizi.
