Juma Ruhuzo

politician

Juma Ruhuzo is the chief of the Mutambara hill in the Rumonge commune, where he oversees a rapidly growing community of approximately 30,000 residents. He has been vocal about the severe lack of infrastructure, including markets, health centers, and access to potable water, that plagues the area as it transforms into a sprawling settlement. Ruhuzo is actively engaged in addressing these issues by communicating the community's needs to higher authorities, and he has highlighted positive developments such as the ongoing electrification of the area and the establishment of facilities for refugees and victims of rising waters from Lake Tanganyika. His leadership focuses on fostering coexistence among diverse populations while navigating the challenges posed by inadequate social services and land conflicts.
