{The Inspector General of Police, Emmanuel K. Gasana has challenges local leaders to reinforce the proactive concept of community policing which engages everyone in ensuring community safety. }
IGP Gasana made the call on April 18 while addressing about 440 Village Chiefs from Gasabo District currently attending a civic education, Ingando, in Kinyinya Sector.
While briefing them on the security situation in the country, which has improved due to the strong public partnership, IGP Gasana noted that each generation must have a mission and urged them to lead by example.
“Everyone should be an eye for the other so as to prevent crimes and be quick to provide any information on anything that causes insecurity in your Villages,” he said.
He, however, commended the role of local leaders in the postgenocide peace building, and urged them to engage community members more so as to identify and report what is likely to hamper their safety and security.
He challenged them to desist and report any form of corruption and other forms of injustices.
The civic programme for the village chiefs in Gasabo which started on April 15, is scheduled to end this Sunday.
Present was also Gasabo vice mayor in charge of economic affairs, Raymond Mberabahizi, among others.
