Taxi-moto operators in Rubavu District have been called upon to be security sensitive and to work with the Police and other security organs to fight and prevent crimes.

The District Police Commander (DPC) for Rubavu, Superintendent of Police (SP) Jean Bosco Karega made the call on Friday, November 4, while meeting about 400 commercial motorcyclists in Gisenyi Sector.

SP Karega reminded them of their duty to maintain security and to report anyone they suspect to be engaged in criminal activities.

"Some of you work with smugglers, drug traffickers and thieves, and some of your colleagues have been arrested in these criminal activities. Do not transport criminals or illegal goods. Instead, be responsive against such people. Make safety and security your responsibility," SP Karega told the Motorcyclists.

He went on to urge them to always stop when required by Police officers on duty.

The taxi-moto operators were further urged to respect traffic rules and regulations to prevent accidents and loss of lives.
