He noted that despite arresting over 50 illegal miners, the extraction of minerals continues.<\/p>\n
\u201cI imagine they have a spy network that monitors and alerts them when we are going for patrol that\u2019s why I recommend a special unit to do the patrols in a consistent manner,\u201d he recommended.<\/p>\n
If formed the protection unit will have trusted guards nominated by the society, they will be tasked to guard the mining holes on a 24 hour period, reporting dubious activities and sensitize the public about the risks of mining without professional supervision.<\/p>\n
Uwihanganye further urged the government to support the initiative by allocating funds to the protection unit will also the reduce tax evasion.<\/p>\n
The leaders started campaign given the fact that for the past four months illegal mining had intensified. <\/p>\n
\u201cWhat they\u2019re doing is risky, recently one person was found dead as a result of landslide,\u201d said Christophe Mudahemuka the Executive Secretary of Ruseheya Sector in Rutsiro District.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
