The mayor of Bugesera District, Emmanuel Nsanzumuhire has called upon mediators in the district to join efforts with security organs and locals to strengthen awareness and prevent crimes.
The mayor was speaking to mediators on March 20, during which he delivered to them 174 bicycles donated by His Excellency President Paul Kagame.
He noted that by preventing crime and improving the social welfare of the people should be at the top of every one and every sector at all times.
“Some of the issues you handle such as domestic conflicts, misuse of family property, and adultery are caused by abuse of psychotropic substances. As elders and opinion leaders, your voice adds much value in preventing such from happening and transforming families and communities,” the mayor said.
Assistant Inspector of Police (AIP) Cyprien Uwitonze, the District Community Liaison Officer of Bugesera, said that although drug related crimes are on the decrease in the district, it is still an issue that requires concerted efforts due to its high impact.
He singled out cannabis, illicit gin like kanyanga, zebra waragi and chief waragi, among many others, which still influence users to commit most injustices handled by mediators.
