The Rwanda Social Security Board (RSSB), the country’s pension fund and land owners in Gaculiro in Gasabo district are embroiled in a row at the site where the $150 million Vision City estate is set to be built.

About 35 families whose land has been expropriated, including some who have declined to give up their land, are contesting the amount of money the district valuers attached to their property and land. Some of the cases are in court after the parties failed to agree.
