Jehovah’s witness backs spraying

KIGALI - A Jehovah’s Witnesses of God believer has said that the religion has not rejected the ongoing anti-malaria spraying campaign as recent field reports from the spraying teams said. The Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS) teams indicated in their recent reports that they had got stiff resistance from Jehovah’s Witnesses’ believers and prostitutes in Sodoma, Gatsata, Muhima and Tetero. The field reports, quoted by the State Minister in-charge of HIV/Aids and other Infectious Diseases Dr Innocent Nyaruhirira, stated that Jehovah followers had claimed that spraying (ICON pesticide) contradicts their faith doctrines.
