{Residents of Karenge sector of Rwamagana district have expressed concern over raising cases of theft of domestic animals, attributing it to drought and crop failure.
\nMany of Karenge sector residents say they did not harvest enough produce during the previous season. } <\/p>\n

\u201cDrought led to crop failure in the previous season. We are rationing to one meal a day. Sometimes we don\u2019t eat the whole day when we fail to find one with food in exchange of laabour,\u201d said Idrisa Rukundo, one of the residents. <\/p>\n

Vincent Rutaganda, another resident also revealed that hunger is beginning to bite so hard that some residents are contemplating to leave for other districts to seek means of survival.<\/p>\n

Nepo Tumusifu said that theft in their region has reached a higher level since it has extended to other material. \u201cWe are faced with domestic animals theft. We no longer pasture goats in bushes since they are stolen for whoever tries to do it. The theft has extended to other materials like bicycles during market days,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The executive secretary of Karenge sector, Marc Rushimisha, also confirmed that the prevailing hunger in some parts of Rwamagana resulted from drought. <\/p>\n
