Each head of household, in Bujumbura the capital, must have a notebook where all people living in the household are registered for security reason. Earlier, the notebook cost BIF 2,000. However, today, some residents get it at a higher cost for signature and delay. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The household notebook that previously cost BIF 2,000 is now bought BIF 4,500 in some neighborhoods<\/p><\/div>\n

\u201cThe household notebook previously cost BIF 2,000 but after the deadline we should add BIF 2,500 for penalty\u201d, says Jean, a resident of Nyakabiga, neighborhood of Mukaza Commune of Bujumbura the capital. He says he ignores the reasons of the penalty considering how the populations are living in dire poverty.<\/p>\n

Nzeyimana, another resident of Bwiza neighborhood of Mukaza Commune, says the household notebook is now obtained after paying a sum of BIF 2500 at the Bujumbura Mayor City added to BIF 2,000, the cost of the household register. \u201cIt is difficult to get it these days. We can\u2019t understand how a notebook should be sold at BIF 4,500 while it actually costs BIF 2,000\u201d, he says.<\/p>\n

In Buyenzi, neighborhood of Mukaza Commune, the situation seems to be different. The added sum is paid to the local administrative officials. \u201cIf you buy the household notebook, you must also look for the chief of the area to sign in the notebook. We should add BIF 2,000. We do not have any information why the cost has increased.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the residents, the administration should review the measure so that all citizens can buy the notebook.<\/p>\n

D\u00e9sir\u00e9 Mazimpaka, the administrator of Mukaza commune in Bujumbura the capital, says that all the household notebooks only cost BIF 2,000. \u201cWe have made the operation very simple. Each person should buy the notebook and pay on the Interbank account of Bujumbura City Council\u201d, he says.<\/p>\n

He goes on to say that serious and severe measures will be taken towards those who have risen the price. \u201cWe will no longer tolerate those who have added any small amount of money to the real cost of the notebook. Moreover, we will not any longer prevent the security forces from carrying out the security operation to check the notebooks\u201d, he says.<\/p>\n

Mazimpaka calls on the residents of Bujumbura the capital to denounce those who do not facilitate the work to provide the notebooks. \u201cThis will avoid any misunderstanding that should divide residents and the local administration\u201d, he says.<\/p>\n

The decision to register all the citizens of Bujumbura the capital was taken by the head of state, Pierre Nkurunziza in November 2015 at the launch of the campaign of forced disarmament in the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
