CIBITOKE, April 20 (ABP) – The governor of Bujumbura province, Aloys Ndayikengurukiye, carried out a working visit on April 16, 2026, to the headqua rters of Cibitoke commune. The objective of the visit was to meet members of the national commission for the identification of state-owned land and vulnerable beneficiaries, who have been engaged since April 14 in processing data related to the identification of state-owned land and the selection of vulnerable beneficiaries.
The governor of Bujumbura appreciated the progress of the activity itself, while thanking the communes that collaborated well and worked with the said commission and submitted the data to be processed on time.
He urged those that had lagged behind to pull themselves together and return with lists signed by the hill-level commission so that the work can be completed within the set deadlines.
For her part, the chairperson of the national commission in charge of identifying state-owned land and vulnerable beneficiaries, Béatrice Havuginoti, congratulated the communes that respected the instructions and guidelines, for the smooth conduct of the data processing from the hills of the 11 communes that make up this province.
She specified that it is within the framework of the national vision 2040-2060 that her commission was established, to identify all vacant and unused state-owned land, as well as applicants, with a view to later allocating it to the rightful vulnerable beneficiaries, especially the Batwa.
The chairperson of the commission strongly criticized the communes that initially neglected the data processing session. She listed the communes that were not represented by the communal administrator or their representative, those that did not send technicians, and those that did not bring handwritten lists signed by the hill-level commission.
As a result, on the third and final day, the pre-established program was disrupted, and the commission, which was supposed to analyze data for three communes of Bukinanyana, Cibitoke and Mugina, had to finalize the lists for Mpanda and was forced to add Mukaza, Ntahangwa, and Mugere.
Note that during this data processing, analysts were divided into four teams, each handling one commune, while for the 11 communes, administrative and technical officials were invited, who were required to bring handwritten lists signed by the hill-level commission.
