{Officials from Nyamasheke district have revealed that only 45 bio-gas facilities are out of the 74 built digesters therefore having an insignificant impact on saving the environment, yet the government has already spent much money on them. }
Uzabakiriho Theresia, a resident of Bushenge sector has said that she has used the facility before and had stopped using charcoal but the digesters have since collapsed.
“These digesters are no longer operational. It takes two days waiting for gas to increase in the facility. The biosgas facility can’t even cook for more than 30 minutes.
Technicians have promised to mend our biogas facilities but they didn’t come. We are experiencing a loss yet we spent much money on the construction of the facilities,” she laments.
The Nyamasheke district officer in charge of environment, Niyibeshaho Anania, said that some of the constructed biogas facilities have completely collapsed and haven’t been repaired. He attributed the collapse to residents’ acts including some people who sold their cows and others who relocated to other places.
