Residents of Nyanamo cell, Rugengabari sector in Burera district have contributed Rwf2 million to access power and catch up with socio-economic development.

The executive secretary of Rugengabari sector, Theogene Nizeyimana says EWSA informed them it would cost over Rwf20 million to distribute electricity to Nyanamo cell.

Nizeyimana asked the concerned authorities to follow up the process so that electricity is distributed to Nyanamo cell soon.

Joseph Zaraduhaye, the vice-mayor for economic affairs in Burera district revealed that the district will contribute Rwf10 million so that residents access electricity.

This was done to fulfill the request made on May 15^th 2013 by Aimé Bosenibamwe, the governor of Northern Province when he visited Rugengabari cell.

The governor told residents to contribute for the electricity as one way of resolving their own problems.

The management of Rwanda’s electricity supply company, Energy, Water and Sanitation Authority (EWSA) has issued a clarification on the recent power cut-outs that have plagued different parts of the country. In a statement issued Thursday 25^th April 2013, the country’s solitary power provider said this was a result of two damaged pylons located in Jabana substation, whereby the 110KV towers collapsed after some its critical structures were stolen.

However, EWSA has come forward to reassure the public that in collaboration with the Rwandan police, the culprits have been arrested while investigations are ongoing. Meanwhile there is a glitter of hope and optimism as in its rollout program; EWSA intends to connect 70% of Rwanda households by 2017, which lay at a mere 6% in 2007. Currently only 17% of the population have access to electricity.

Meanwhile, EWSA, also in charge of water distribution and sanitation, in the same statement gave an overview on the state of water supply, citing heavy erosion, flood and landslides as the major causes of water shortages in some parts of the country notably some parts of Western Province and Northern Province. The other cause, according to EWSA, is the damaged pylons at Jabana substation, which in turn caused load shedding of water treatment plants and some pumping stations.

All in all things look bright despite the fluctuation of the supply from January to April, with a discrepancy of close to a million cubic metres, from slightly over 3 million cubic metres to 2.3 cubic metres.

mu kungurana ibitekerezo kandi abayobozi ku mpande zombi haba kukarere na EWSA bumvikanye ko mbere yo kugira ibikorwa bya EWSA bishyirwa mu bikorwa, EWSA igomba kubanza kuganira n’Akarere kugira ngo harebwe ibiteganyirijwe aho hantu, mu rwego  rwo kwirinda ingaruka y’ibishobora kwangirika

kubirebana n’imbago z’umuhanda Mbere yo kugira ibyo EWSA yubaka mu mbago z’umuhanda basabwe ko  igomba kubanza igasaba uruhushya ababishinzwe nk’uko biteganywa n’amategeko .

Akarere kifuje ko raporo EWSA itanga ya buri kwezi yo kugeza amazi n’amashanyarazi ku baturage , ku bantu bubatse vuba, bajya bashyiriraho kolone  igaragaza abaturage bafite ibyangomba byo kubaka n’abatabifite, ibyo ngo bizafasha Ubuyobozi bw’Akarere kuba bamenya byoroshye inyubako zidakurikije Amategeko.

While residents are complaining of power shortage these days, Rukarara dam has been cited as the cause of power cut offs that has many parts of Rwanda pretty worried.

Vedaste Tuyisenge, Director of EWSA in Huye district highlights that power shortage in Huye, Nyanza, Gisagara, Nyamagabe and Nyaruguru districts is a result of Rukarara dam that is out of function.

This is because Rukarara dam supplies electricity through Kigoma dam before distributing to the other districts of Rwanda.

There is power shortage in these places due to two poles in Jabana swamp that fell down by wind on March 19^th 2013 which supply electricity to Kigali city from Northern Province.

This resulted into sharing little electricity distributed to Nyanza, Huye, and Nyamagabe with other districts around.

Also, this explains why Huye district has less load shedding compared to other districts since electricity passes through it to Rukarara.

The poles fell down in the swamp full of water due to heavy rains which made it difficult to repair them.

Tuyisenge explains “To make poles stronger, they have to stand in holes filled with concrete. Because new poles have to be built to solve the problem, construction will take 25 days to complete.”

Kabarore niwo mujyi mukuru w’Akarere ka Gatsibo

Bamwe mu batuye mu Midugudu igize Umurenge wa Kabarore Akarere ka Gatsibo, baravuga ko kubona ibyangombwa by’ibanze nk’amazi n’amashanyarazi bikiri ingutu, bityo bagasaba ubuyobozi bw’Umurenge kubakorera ubuvugizi.

Iyi Midugudu abaturage bavuga ko ibangamiwe no kutagira amazi n’umuriro, ni Bihinga, Kanyobwa, Simbwa, Kabeza, Kabingo na Mishenyi, aha bakaba bavuga ko amavomo bakoreshaga yapfuye ndetse n’umuriro bakabona ubaca hejuru.

Munyaneza Emmanuel ni umwe mu baturage bo muri Kabarore mu Mudugudu wa Simbwa twaganiriye yagize ati “Abatuye iyi Midugudu babona amashanyarazi abaca hejuru, ikindi kandi gituma dukomeza gusaba ubuyobozi bwacu ko bwadufasha, ni uko dufite amavomo yaduhaga amazi ariko kugeza ubu akababa yarangiritse kandi ntakorwe.”

Tumaze kumenya icyo kibazo twifuje kuganira n’umunyamabanga nshingwabikorwa w’Umurengen wa Kabarore ntibyadukundira kuko twasanze arwaye bikomeye ari mu bitaro by’umwami fayisali.

Nyuma yo kubura Umuyobozi w’Umurenge wa Kabarore, twavuganye n’Umuyobozi w’Akarere wungirije ushinzwe imibereho myiza Uwimpuhwe Esperance adutangariza ko icyo kibazo ubuyobozi bukizi kandi ngo bukaba burigukora ibishoboka ngo gikemuke bubifashijwemo n’abafatanyabikorwa.

Tuyisenge Vedaste, umuyobozi wa EWSA mu Karere ka Huye, avuga ko umuriro ubura i Huye, ndetse no mu Turere tuhegereye twose ari two Nyanza, Gisagara, Nyamagabe na Nyaruguru, akenshi bigaterwa nuko urugomero rwa Rukarara rutari gukora.

Impamvu ngo ni ukubera ko uru rugomero ubusanzwe rutanga umuriro unyura ku rwa Kigoma, ukabona gukwirakwizwa mu tundi turere tw’igihugu. Na none ariko, kugira ngo uru rugomero rwa Rukarara rubashe gukora, ni uko urwa Kigoma ruhohereza umuriro wifashishwa mu gukora amashanyarazi yo kuri Rukarara nyine.

Muri iki gihe umuriro wabaye mukeya, biturutse ku mapironi abiri yo mu gishanga cya Jabana yaguye kuwa 19/3/2013, nyamara yarazanaga umuriro mu mugi wa Kigali uvuye mu majyaruguru y’igihugu, umuriro usigaye usaranganywa ku buryo iyo hamwe hari kwaka ahandi haba hataka.

Iyo urugomero rwa Rukarara rutari gukora rero, umuriro woherezwaga za Nyanza, Huye, na Nyamagabe ntiwongera kuboneka kuko usaranganywa uturere tundi uturutse i Kigoma uba wabaye mukeya. Ibi kandi ngo binasobanura impamvu mu gace ka Huye ho umuriro utabura cyane nk’ahandi: ni ho umuriro unyura ujya kuri Rukarara.

Tugarutse ku mapironi yo mu gishanga cya Jabana yaguye kuwa 19/3, ngo byaturutse ku muyaga mwinshi, ariko na bwo kugwa byatewe n’uko ibyuma byo kuri aya mapironi byari byaribwe, bityo umuyaga waza ukayabasha.

Aya mapironi kandi yaguye mu gihe igishanga cyuzuyemo amazi biturutse ku mvura nyinshi, ku buryo kuyasana bitari byoroshye, akaba ari yo mpamvu hemejwe ko hubakwa andi.

Tuyisenge ati “kugira ngo amapironi akomere, bisaba ko aho ashingwa hacukurwa, hagashyirwamo beto, kandi bigasaba gutegereza ko yuma mbere yo kubaka amapironi. Imirimo yo kubaka aya mapironi mashya igomba gutwara iminsi 25 uhereye igihe agomba gusimburwa yagwiriye.”

Hagati aho rero, gusaranganya umuriro biracyakomeje.
