Rwanda: PS-Imberakuri fails to get office building in Northern Province

Musanze: There was drama in Musanze district Saturday as the Social Party Imberakuri officials found themselves at the centre of an unexpected controversy. They found the house they had planned to make the party´s office occupied by other tenants, RNA reports.

By around 10am, PS Imberakuri head Mr. Bernard Ntaganda and other officials arrived in Musanze at a house on the outskirt of the town. However, the house was occupied by a family. The party´s top brass was scheduled to launch its activities in Northern Province in the same house.

Amid the chaos that arose in the presence of district officials, the owner of the house accused PS Imberakuri officials of "coming with just saliva last week when they were looking for a house". He said that he seriously wanted money at that time which somebody else was on hand to pay in cash and immediately signed a contract.

Apparently, party officials contacted him last week with a proposal to rent his house, but they only promised to return with the money and that a contract would be signed. However, the owner says PS Imberakuri officials did not give him any specifics about when they would take up the house.

For party head Mr. Ntaganda, the house owner had been intimidated and forced to give away his house. Talking to about three journalists and surrounded by curious on-lookers, Mr. Ntaganda did not name who he believes was behind the move to block him from launching the party´s activities in upcountry places.
