The Government will spend at least Rwf1 billion on the rehabilitation of Mugogo lowland in Musanze and other areas in Nyabihu district that were ravaged by floods.
The intervention comes to restore gains from multi-billion project in Musanze and Nyabihu districts which was being threatened by floods.
Andrew Mpuhwe Rucyahana, the vice mayor for economic development in Musanze District told The New Times that the activities to contain floods involve building drainages and de-silting caves in Mugogo lowland located.
"The project to revive the flooded area comes with particular intervention which include tackling sources of floods in Nyabihu District which end up submerging this lowland in Musanze District," he said.
One of the floods sources to be managed is Kinoni River from Nyabihu District that ends up sinking into the caves in Musanze and when the caves are covered by sediments, the water floods the marshland.
