King Kigeli Ndahindurwa V’s Residence Sold in Auction, astonishing.
The term Agaciro (meaning value) is the current mantra for the Rwandan government since their foreign aid was either cut or suspended by the international community. This word dominates Rwandan politics; however it’s bothersome to read the article which was written in The New Times, entitled Kigali Central Prison to become ‘Heritage Hotel’.  The Rwandan Government daily paper stated that King Kigeli Ndahindurwa’s home will be demolished, because it was “mistakenly†sold in an auction and in its place a parking lot will be constructed. Where is the AGACIRO? Our king is still alive, we love him and he is still the head of our culture.  Like many Rwandans I don’t understand what is wrong with the system of the Rwandan government; the law is being used the opposite way, why can’t this be stopped? Why would the minister of Sports and Culture, Protais Mitali, allow such an injustice to occur? If mistakes happened previously then we should not allow more mistakes to happen that will delete our history completely. Mr.
Mitali said many mistakes had happened where some of the residences of Rwandan kings were demolished, he agrees that it was a mistake but he cannot even think of stopping this from happening again. If Hotel Faucon is preserved as well as other buildings why can’t the government do the same for our Kings House?  Rwandans who had sought refuge in different countries then later returned to Rwanda were handed back their homes. So why then is our King not allowed the same privilege?
Who ordered the sale of the king’s house?
What is the Job of the minister of sports and culture if he cannot even protect our country’s heritage?
Who bought it?
If not one of the RPF companies aiming to harass every crucial name in the country, who sold it  If not the government, the article states it was bought by an investor to build a public parking place. If we all agree that this house is owned by our King and the kingdom why was it put in auction without consulting the king? Are Rwandans now been denied the right to have a king?
Protais Mitali’s stated that, “By mistake, the house was sold in public auction and we got to know about it late. Since the buyer acquired it legitimately there is no way to get it back.â€
Mitali said his ministry has written to all local authorities and demanded them to protect heritage sites in their respective areas. But where is the heritage left when you have already auctioned such an important part of history?
The Rwandan Kingdom is over 1000 years old, the RPF is less than 20 years old we will remember RPF in history however we still need our kingdom history to stay alive. The countries surrounding Rwanda all kept their heritage and so even most countries in the World. Gen Juvenal Habyarimana who is responsible for his failure during his time as president of Rwanda, but also tried to keep our heritage alive. Why can’t our current government do the same? I am calling for the government to stop this senseless idea of demolishing our heritage. The Rwandan people please let’s join our hands together and protect our history because that is all we are left with. The RPF government will go but the line to the throne for our kingdom and our history should be preserved.
Mr Protais Mitali and the government of Rwanda in general should know that people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture are like a tree with no roots.
We love our King does and it does not matter whether you sell his house or not. You will not deny Rwandans their rights. An English man once said that ‘you can dance on a lions grave but you cannot became a lion,’ and our nation’s culture resides in the hearts and souls of its people. It does not matter how long it takes, the Rwandan people will see the right path to democracy which will allow them to practice their culture and involve their king who is being neglected by the current government.

Abanyarwanda baciye umugani ngo GIRASO YITURWA INDI rero nawe umunsi yavuye kubutegetsi IBYEBYOSE TUZABITEZA CYAMUNARA ndetse tuzahera kuri ziriya NDEGE!! nubundi ngo ingwe ntiyarizi gufata kugikanu yarabwirijwe!!! ubwo arimo kutwereka uko babijyenza!!!!!!
Oh my God, what are they doin? Is Kagame’s Government crazy?
Kagame ayobeje abanyarwanda kubera inda nini, nkawe Mitali wakirura we uyobewe ko mukazi ushinzwe harimwo nokurengera amateka? Ntasoni koko amateka agiye kuzajana ningoma yanyu na rwabujindiri? Kandi na Kinani yarayubashye. Nakumiro Kagame arababeshya namwe mukemera. Kagame Ka rutagambwa umwisengeneza wa Kanjogera abega kunyo aho bahereye barwanira ingoma, barayibonye none ubwami namateka arabitwambuye, ariko murabeshyera ubusa sha ibyo mukora nubukunguzi.
Kagame and his government should be ashamed of their system which is made up of hate and corruption.
Rwabujindiri rurya ntiruhage, niwe Paul Kagame ka Rutagambwa Umwega wumwakagara ntagatangaza kibikorwa bye, byarahanuwe ko azakora ibidakoreka. Ibyahanuwe hasigaye kimwe bitihese bibiri arimuminsi yanyuma nkuko byahanuwe ko kuvaho kwe bizaba nkubufindo. Mubitege amaso ngo imbwa yirumye ijosi irakomeza yiruma mumuraru igeze ku mabya itese burya nirumaga. Pole sana wavijana God bless Rwanda God bless our King Ndahindurwa.
Marara turagushima cyane kuko ukomeje kugaragaza ko ukunda gakondo yacu nyarwanda, naho kuba Kagame ashishikajwe no gusibanganya icyatuma imbaga y\’Inyabutatu nyarwanda igira icyo yibukiraho Umwami Kigeli wa 5 Ndahindurwa n\’amateka y\’ubwami bw\’u Rwanda aribeshya cyaneeeee!
Turabizi neza ko arimo kubiterwa nuko yamenye ko hariho inkubiri iriho y\’ Imbaga y\’Inyabutatu nyarwanda yo gusubizaho Ubwami bugendera ku itegekonshinga mu Rwanda.
Kagame amaze kumenya neza ko adashobora guhagarika isubizwaho ry\’Ubwami bugendera ku itegekonshinga ryahagurukiwe n\’imbaga nyarwanda yibumbiye mu Ihuriro ry\’Inyabutatu-RPRK.
Kagame will demolish King Kigeli NDAHINDURWA\’s House, but he will never demolish the LOVE Rwandans have towards their Monarchy and their Constitutional Monarchy.

OOoh, we are very sorry , It was by mistake !
My goodness, Regimes ziragwira pee !
J.K
The bes way Rwanda can handle this is to use its all powers to stop this investor.
Who is an investor on Rwandan’s historical events? this is totally a mess.Leaders are led into a mess by its junior leaders.President Kagame if your a aware that you have set a building in Rwanda,be informed that at any cost your out f power the same way they will treat you.So don’t accept this mes done by some junior leaders like the one in que to solve this.
Some issues are not for President Kagame but at the end they are termed to be Kagame.I beleive he is innocent but if in line with the deal,criminal mind is money.Other criminals are too coming in future.
