Philippe Mpayimana campaigns in Nyanza sector – Nyanza district
Independent candidate Philippe Mpayimana has promised supporters at a campaign rally in Nyanza district that if elected, his government would solve issues of arable land by building massive apartments.
“Land is becoming scarce in our country. If you vote for me, I will construct skyscrapers to bring together many inhabitants in one place- thus, they will pave away for arable land,” Mpayimana told voters on July 15th.
