The Rwanda National Police, on Saturday, joined residents of Ndera in Gasabo District in a special community work, locally known as Umuganda, where they cleared bushes along the 1.6-kilometre stretch of road in the area.The activity was organised by the Youth Unit Rwanda-Imihigo, an association that promotes hygiene and fight disasters.Dominique Rwomushana, the president of youth association commended Rwanda National Police for its continued effort to protect the environment and to support community development.He said the activity was organised to bring the youth together, particularly students on holiday, to contribute to national development.Rwomushana said the exercise, that started in Gasabo, will be conducted in other parts of the country to engage the youth in development programmes."This is one of the effective ways to bring our efforts together toward our nation building,” Rwomushana said."Through such programmes, the youth get time to discuss on several other issues like fighting and preventing crimes, including drug trade and consumption,” he added.Gasabo mayor Willy Ndizeye lauded the youth for the idea of mobilising their colleagues to conduct such development activities.He urged them to continue with the campaign to sensitise others, to collectively play their role in crime prevention.The exercise was also attended by the Deputy Inspector General of Police in charge of Administration and Personnel, Stanley Nsabimana, among others.
