{{Police has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Huye District. The agreement serves to bolster mechanisms of preventing and combating crimes in the district.}}
The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Emmanuel K. Gasana said the partnership entered into will not only benefit the two parties, the country in general.
He said this is an important agreement considering that it will establish proper and effitient mechanisms through which the two institutions will deal with relevant challenges, especially that Huye shares a porous border with Burundi.
Indeed several reports of fraud and smuggling have been reported along the Akanyaru border which is shared by the two countries. With this MoU, efforts to combat transnational crime via this border will be scaled up.
Huye Mayor Eugene Kayiranga Muzuka said the agreement will also help improve security and help cut down crime rates in his district.
He promised Huye will improve community policing efforts through offering regular training to community policing committees.
The IGP also promised to support all initiatives that focus on security, crime prevention, environmental protection and community service (Umuganda), which he said all contribute to development.
The Huye MoU marks the 9th agreement after Police signed other MoUs with Bugesera, Gatsibo, Kicukiro, Burera, Nyanza, Nyamasheke, Rubavu and Rusizi.
These MoUs are part of Rwanda National police’s broader efforts of preventing crimes and creating a safer environment for people living in Rwanda.
