The message was delivered on Wednesday in Musanze district during discussions with students held at INES Ruhengeri as part of ongoing judicial week that run from 18th to end on 22nd March 2019.
The chairperson of the Rwanda Law Reform Commission (RLRC), Aimable Havugiyaremye reminded them that prevention of crimes requires concerted efforts from different actors.
“Fighting and preventing crime is our daily duty. Those directly involved are not enough with the absence of beneficiaries. When they properly understand inconveniences of crime, prevention methods and how to provide early information; our work becomes easy. That is why we organize such discussions countrywide for better understanding of judicial process undertakings,” he said.
Participants pledged to give their contribution increasing awareness among citizens on
crime prevention measures.
“We have been reminded of our role in preventing crime early. Our contribution will be
providing explanations to citizens how to avoid crime and update them on related
punishments. This will undoubtedly reduce criminals,” said Gedeon Rutayisire a student in the department of law.
Discussions during the judicial week are held on different topics including citizens’ involvement in crime prevention, prevention of drugs, defilement, corruption and
cyber crimes among others.
