Rwamagana District has issued a promise to both merchants and the local community that the inaugural phase of the town’s modern market project will be finalized by May. This market, which is part of a larger 10.8 billion Rwandan Francs development project spread across three stages, will ultimately boast a five-storey structure upon completion.

Current progress shows the construction in full swing, with the initial phase, featuring a single-floor structure, slated for completion in May. This phase recently underwent an inspection by representatives from Enabel, a key financial backer of the project.

Mbonyumuvunyi Radjab, the Mayor of Rwamagana District, has assured that the first phase will be ready for occupancy by May, enabling traders to relocate to the new facility without delay.

Mayor Radjab elaborated, "Our commitment is to finish by the fifth month of this year. With four months remaining, we are on track for the opening of the first phase. Any potential delays would be minor, as the contractor faces penalties for tardiness, which incentivizes on-time completion. In exceptional circumstances, a brief extension of around 15 days may be requested."

Additionally, the district encourages local homeowners to renovate their properties to match the modern aesthetic of the market by the end of the third phase. Funding for the first phase was provided by Enabel, with the anticipation that private sector investments will drive the construction of the subsequent phases.
