The Rwanda National Police (RNP) joined the rest of Rwandans on Saturday in a monthly community exercise locally known as umuganda.
In different parts of the country, Police officers joined communities to clean roads and clear shrubs.
In Kigali, Police officers cleared roads and shrubs in Kacyiru and inside the General Headquarters.
The Inspector General of Police, Emmanuel K. Gasana urged the officers, shortly after the community exercise, to always value this home-grown initiative as a pillar to national development.
He also urged them to always be time conscious and fight corruption, which also portrays a disciplined and professional officer.
Indulging in malpractice tendencies damages the image of the force and the country in general, he observed.
This Saturday’s Umuganda was also joined by the rest of the world in showing solidarity to Rwandans in this home-grown initiative and was dedicated to the upcoming 20th Genocide commemoration.
