About this statute

The Order sets the structure, responsibilities, functioning, and composition of land commissions at national, Kigali City, and district levels, and requires members to be honest, reputable, prudent, competent in land matters, and independent in carrying out their duties. The Commission at each level must include a chairperson, a vice-chairperson, and other members, with at least 30% women. The Prime Minister appoints members by order on request of the minister in charge of lands, and local councils are involved for Kigali City and district levels. The Commission’s term is three years, renewable once. A commission member’s duties end if the member dies, resigns, misses three consecutive meetings without a valid reason, or is dismissed by the appointing authority. A commission member must be replaced within 90 days after duties end. During that period, the commission chairperson must notify the Lands Minister in writing, and the Minister must notify the Prime Minister within 15 days of receiving the letter. Land Commission members must meet on a set schedule, and may hold an extraordinary session in urgent cases or at the request of at least one third of members.
