The Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIGP) in charge of Administration and Personnel, DCG Jeanne Chantal Ujeneza alongside hundreds of Police officers, on Saturday, October 18, joined residents of Gasabo District in a special community work (Umuganda) dedicated to environmental conservation.
The activity brought together security organs, youth volunteers, and residents to dig over 20,800 holes on Ubwiza bwa Gasogi hill to fight soil erosion.
It is part of the government tree planting campaign launched last month under the theme: “My Tree, My Legacy.”
While addressing the residents, DCG Ujeneza commended the strong collaboration, emphasizing that such unity plays a central role in advancing national development.
“The development of our country cannot be achieved if different sectors work in isolation,” DIGP Ujeneza said. “We commend the youth volunteers and public for working hand-in-hand with security organs to build their communities.”
She further reminded residents that security extends beyond peace and stability, calling for strengthened joint efforts to further uplift the people's welfare.
“Even when we have peace, if families remain poor, children do not go to school, and people lack health insurance, then the country cannot enjoy full security,” she added, assuring continued Police partnership in community development.
The District Executive Administrator for Gasabo, Bernard Bayasese, thanked all participants for their commitment to protecting the environment and highlighted the significance of the initiative in promoting sustainable development and combating the effects of climate change.
