Bugesera district advisory council passed a resolution of levying fines to livestock found grazing in the precincts of Bugesera International Airport under construction and Gako Military barracks last year. <\/p>\n
The mayor of Bugesera district, Richard Mutabazi has told IGIHE that the decision was made to protect activities in the aforementioned land and residents\u2019 interests as well. <\/p>\n
\u201cChildren grazing livestock in Gako forest are sometimes engaged in activities that put them at risk among other susceptible hazards. The machinery at the airport construction site might demolish a structure without noticing the pastoralist hence worsening the situation,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
\u201cMoreover, livestock and pastoralists would destroy completed infrastructure. We made the decision to protect residents\u2019 interests and infrastructure as well,\u201d added Mutabazi. <\/p>\n
He appealed on residents against grazing livestock in restricted areas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
