Dear City of Kigali,
Under Law No. 04/2013 relating to Access to Information, I request information on neighbourhood road projects within the City of Kigali that:
1. Received financial contributions from residents or property owners; and
2. Had not been completed as of 31 July 2026.
For each project, please provide:
1. Road/project name and location.
2. Amount contributed by residents.
3. Amount contributed by the City, district, or other parties.
4. Contractor and contract value.
5. Start date, original completion date, and current expected completion date.
6. Percentage completed as of 31 July 2026.
7. Recorded reason for any delay.
I also request any policy, guideline, agreement template, or procedure governing:
- Collection and management of resident contributions;
- Use and accounting of those funds; and
- Refund, reallocation, or other treatment of contributions where a project is delayed, cancelled, or not completed.
If no consolidated list exists, please provide the available records containing this information.
Please provide project data in Excel/CSV format where available and supporting documents electronically.
If any part of this request is held by a district or another public institution, please transfer that part to the appropriate institution.
If any requested information cannot be disclosed, please provide the portion that can be disclosed and state the legal basis for withholding the remainder.
Pursuant to Ministerial Order No. 007/07.01/13 of 27/12/2013 determining the time limit for the provision of information or explanations for not providing it, I look forward to a response on this request as soon as possible and within the applicable statutory period.

Dear City of Kigali,
I am writing to follow up on my Access to Information request submitted on 10 August 2026 concerning the status of neighbourhood road projects financed through resident contributions.
To date, I have not received the requested information or any further details. The applicable period for responding to the request has now elapsed under Law No. 04/2013 of 08/02/2013 relating to Access to Information and the relevant regulations.
I would therefore be grateful if the City of Kigali provide the requested information at its earliest convenience.
If any part of the requested information cannot be disclosed, I would appreciate a written explanation identifying the legal basis for withholding that information. Where only part of the information is exempt from disclosure, I would appreciate receiving the portions that can be disclosed.
I remain happy to receive the requested information electronically.
Yours faithfully,
Kayiranga
Dear City of Kigali,
I am following up again on my Access to Information request submitted on 10 August 2026 concerning the status of neighbourhood road projects financed through resident contributions.
On 10 August 2026 I submitted the signed official letter addressed to the Mayor, as your office requested, and your office confirmed receipt on 11 August 2026. I followed up on 21 September 2026 and have not yet received the requested information or a decision.
Under Ministerial Order No. 007/07.01/13 of 27 December 2013, the period for responding does not exceed three working days, and any extension is limited to a further fourteen working days and only with the approval of the Office of the Ombudsman. That period has long elapsed.
I would be grateful if the City of Kigali could now either provide the requested information, issue a written decision stating the legal basis for withholding any part of it, or transfer the relevant part to the appropriate institution and inform me accordingly.
Yours faithfully,
Kayiranga
