MURAMVYA July 7th (ABP) – The first vice president of the Senate, Mrs. Dénise Ndadaye, along with the senators elected in Muramvya, began, on Wednesday July 5, her activities related to the parliamentary recess in Kiganda commune of Muramvya province (center- west), a trip which continued on Thursday July 6 in Bukeye commune.
In the multipurpose hall of the Kiganda High School as in that of the Notre Dame du Sourire High School, the first vice president of the Senate held meetings with the people, the heads of provincial and communal services as well as the leaders at all levels in the five communes of Muramvya province.
Mrs. Dénise Ndadaye mobilized the participants to respond to the government’s desire to promote vegetable gardens in each household, the preparation of nurseries for the planting of both forest trees and those living with food plants, hygiene and sanitation in households and workplaces.
She said that the establishment of vegetable gardens will allow families to feed their children well on the one hand, and on the other hand, the latter will be well supervised especially during these vacation days by the irrigation works. For those who say they don’t have a place for kitchen gardens, the first vice president of the Senate shared with them the experience of other people who grow different vegetables in bags or ponds fixed somewhere in the housing plots in which they put the earth in bags or basins with holes and irrigated regularly.
Regarding the preparation of nurseries for the next forestry season, Mrs. Denise Ndadaye recalled that the objective is to be able to ensure the environmental protection as a whole, to have fruit trees and others that live with food plants. This is to ensure food self-sufficiency and to have money in the pockets of people and foreign currency for the country in the event of the export of avocado production, for example.
People were also called upon to do everything possible to collect waste that could rot in the compost and be used as manure.
For waste that does not rot such as plastic bottles or bags, it has been advised to strict collection either for recycling or destruction to make hygiene and sanitation visible.
Among the grievances of the people are the cases of injustice on the part of the court of residence, the unavailability of water and irrigation equipment, the need for public latrines at the level of the two national roads which pass through the communes of Muramvya province.
The Kibogoye village is thus in need of electricity because there are poles installed since the 1980s. This was pleaded by two of the natives of that locality who nevertheless commend the initiative of a member of the diaspora who was able to electrify about three kilometers.
Others who have taken the floor, are the village mediators who say they have no offices. Hence, they affirm that they encounter difficulties in the event of rains, overwhelming sun, without forgetting the conservation and the protection of the lawsuits.
The MP and two senators elected in Muramvya and who accompanied the first vice president of the Senate, took turns giving their points of view aimed at inclusive development.
As for Victor Girukwishaka who has already set up a tea factory in Muramvya, he took his time to raise awareness among the people present in those meetings to grow tea which has a market in Muramvya province where there are two processing factories in operation.
The people of Muramvya province were also called upon to grow bread wheat because the region is known as favorable and holds the outlet market which is none other than the Muramvya flour mill, Honorable Girukwishaka insisted. It is worth noting that responses were given to the grievances of the people by the first vice president of the Senate. She also agreed to transmit to the competent authorities the challenges that did not find answers on the site.
