Statute overview

About this statute

This Order sets out the rules for temporary requisition of land, management of temporarily requisitioned land, conditions for its repossession, and how a land ownership contract may be terminated. This article defines key terms used in the Order, including “prime area,” “valuation,” “Ministry,” and “Minister.” Land used for agriculture, livestock, or forestry may be temporarily requisitioned if it is non-exploited and at least five hectares. The City of Kigali or the relevant District must write to an owner of non-exploited land after six consecutive months, asking the owner to use the land or explain why it is not being used. The City of Kigali or a legally recognized District may ask the Minister to temporarily requisition unused land if the land has been unused for one year without reasonable cause, or if official letters asking the owner to use it were delivered and ignored without justification.
