The Rwanda Land Management and Use Authority (RLMUA) has launched a web-based application which allows anyone interested in a plot of land anywhere in the country to check it out by themselves, at any time, as another way to ease business.
Jean-Claude Kayitare, the public relations officer at the Authority, told The New Times that "the rationale of this was to help people, by using the internet, to check by themselves the information about the land; especially those who live outside the country."
By using the new Land Information Inquiry Portal, it is noted, its users will be able to see information such as the land address Province, District, Sector, Cell, and Village; the land right type (Emphyteutic lease, freehold, and so on); and land ownership details such as land owner's name, his or her address and ID.
The new Land Information Inquiry Portal also allows you to easily know the exact restrictions - caveats and, or mortgage status - of the land you are interested in.
Only landowners and those who have interest in a given land with the authorization from the owners will check land Information before making any commitment," the RLMUA responded to a related query online.
