Amazi meza, ayo kuhira n’amashanyarazi
Nk’uko MININFRA yabitangaje, uretse gutanga amazi azifashishwa mu kuhira ibyanya by’ubuhinzi, muri uyu mushinga hazubakwa uruganda rutunganya amazi meza ruzaba rufite ubushobozi bwo gutanga metero kibe 50.000 ku munsi. Mu cyiciro cya mbere, uru ruganda ruzatangira rutanga metero kibe 25.000 ku munsi, ubushobozi bwarwo bugende bwongerwa. Urugomero kandi ruzatanga amashanyarazi, bityo rugire uruhare mu bikorwa by’ubukungu n’imibereho myiza y’abaturage.
Uru rugomero ruri kubakwa ku mugezi wa Muvumba, ku birometero 12 haruguru y’Umujyi wa Nyagatare, mu Mirenge ya Karama, Gatunda na Rukomo. Banki Nyafurika Itsura Amajyambere (AfDB), itera inkunga uyu mushinga, isobanura ko ruzaba rufite ubuhagarike bwa metero 39 n’ubushobozi bwo kubika metero kibe miliyoni 54,77 z’amazi, ndetse n’uruganda ruto rw’amashanyarazi rwa Megawati 1 ruzajya rutanga amashanyarazi angana na GWh 6,94 ku mwaka. IGIHE yatangaje ko amazi meza ruzatanga azagezwa ku baturage barenga 800.000. Ubwo Minisitiri w’Intebe Dr. Justin Nsengiyumva yasuraga uyu mushinga ku wa 11 Nyakanga 2026, Ibiro bye byatangaje ko nirumara kuzura ruzafasha kuhira hegitari zisaga 10.000.
Umubiri w’urugomero rwa Muvumba, wubakishijwe itaka, ugaragara inyuma y’amazi n’urufunzo.
Igice cyo kugeza amazi meza ku baturage cyari cyagarutsweho n’Umukuru w’Igihugu. Muri Werurwe 2026, ubwo Perezida Paul Kagame yari mu nama n’abayobozi b’inzego zitandukanye, harimo n’iz’ibanze, yagaragaje ko muri uyu mushinga hari ibyakurikiranywe, ibindi biribagirana, agira ati “Mu mushinga umwe ugomba gutanga ibintu bibiri. Ugakurikirana kimwe udakurikirana ikindi. Wagera ku mwanzuro gute uguha ibyo wifuza?” Guverineri w’Intara y’Iburasirazuba, Pudence Rubingisa, yasubije ko mu ishyirwa mu bikorwa ry’uyu mushinga bakurikiranye ibijyanye no kuhira gusa, bakibagirwa kugeza amazi ku baturage bo mu mirenge no mu turere twegereye Nyagatare, nk’uko IGIHE yabitangaje.
Ahakorerwa imirimo y’urugomero rwa Muvumba: hagaragara ibirundo by’amabuye n’imashini zifashishwa muri iyo mirimo, imbere y’umusozi w’amashyamba.
Nyuma y’ubukererwe, imirimo irihutishwa
Muri Mutarama 2026, Ikigo cy’Igihugu Gishinzwe Umutungo Kamere w’Amazi (RWB) cyatangaje ko imirimo yari igeze kuri 44%. Mu nkuru IGIHE yasohoye ku wa 1 Nyakanga 2026, Umuyobozi Mukuru wa RWB, Emmanuel Rukundo, yavuze ko urugomero rwari rugeze kuri 61,5%. Iyo nkuru igaragaza ko ubukererwe bwatewe n’ivugururwa ry’inyigo, aho ubuhagarike bw’urugomero bwavuye kuri metero 30 bugashyirwa kuri 39, n’ubuso buzuhirwa bukava kuri hegitari 6.000 bukagera ku 10.000, hakiyongeraho iyishyurwa ry’ingurane n’inzira ndende yo kwemeza amasoko n’umuterankunga. Kugeza ku wa 30 Kamena 2026, u Rwanda rwari rumaze kwishyura miliyari 1,8 Frw kubera gutinda gukoresha inguzanyo.
Iyo nkuru ivuga kandi ko mu mpera za 2020 AfDB yemeje inguzanyo ya miliyoni 121,5 z’amayero yagenewe uyu mushinga, naho ku wa 16 Mata 2026 hemezwa andi miliyoni 45,4 z’amayero. Icyo gihe, RWB yavuze ko imirimo yakorwaga amanywa n’ijoro, ndetse no mu mpera z’icyumweru, kandi ko imodoka zitunda itaka zari 60, zikaba zarimo kongerwa ngo zigere ku 100.

Imwe mu nyubako nini za sima ziri kubakwa mu mushinga w’urugomero rwa Muvumba; hejuru ibumoso hahagaze itsinda ry’abasuye imirimo.
Ku ruhande rwo kuhira, ku wa 31 Kanama 2026 RWB yagarutse ku nama nyunguranabitekerezo yatangirijwemo umushinga wo kuhira uterwa inkunga y’inyongera (Additional Financing), uzashyirwa mu bikorwa ku bufatanye n’Ikigo cy’Igihugu Gishinzwe Iterambere ry’Ubuhinzi n’Ubworozi (RAB).

Abagize itsinda ryasuye imirimo bahagaze ku nkengero z’umuferege munini wubakishijwe amabuye, iruhande rw’ikusanyirizo ry’amashanyarazi rya Nyagatare riri kubakwa.
Iri kusanyirizo rifitanye isano n’indi mirimo REG imaze igihe ikora mu Ntara y’Iburasirazuba. Ku wa 16 Mutarama 2026, ubwo Zingiro yari akiyobora REG, yayoboye itsinda ry’abayobozi bakuru b’icyo kigo ryasuye imirimo yo kwagura ikusanyirizo rya Gabiro n’umuyoboro w’amashanyarazi wa kilovolti 110 uzarihuza n’ikusanyirizo rishya rya Nyagatare, nk’uko REG yabitangaje.
Ibyuma n’insinga bigize ikusanyirizo ry’amashanyarazi rya Nyagatare; imirimo yo kuryubaka igeze kuri 85%.
Taarifa yatangaje ko Zingiro yagarutse ku kamaro k’iyi mishinga, agira ati “Iyi mishinga ntigamije kubaka ibikorwa remezo gusa; igamije kubaka ubushobozi bukenewe mu gushyigikira ubuhinzi, inganda, itangwa ry’amashanyarazi no kubona amazi meza, kandi ibyo ni ingenzi ku iterambere rya Nyagatare n’ibice biyikikije.”
