Land seizure by Rwandan government rushed at expense of owners- study

A recent study by the Rwanda Civil Society Platform shows that expropriation of land and properties by the government to pave the way for infrastructure development is done on short notice, giving land and property owners limited time to negotiate their compensation.

According to the research, which was released last week, many respondents said there is limited or no consultation at all between the government and land or property owners. As a result, many people are forced to accept the compensation terms.
