The head of the provincial branch of the OBPE, Mr. Joseph Niyongabo, indicated that more than 900,000 biodegradable baskets have already been made. He said that the sprouters are installed.
Mr. Niyongabo said that the problems encountered in the work of setting up the nurseries are, among others, the lack of banana trees, watering cans and devastating termites.

Concerning the fight against bush fires, Mrs. Ngozirazana indicated that a leader of the village where a case of bush fires will be notified will be appealed once the arsonist will not be identified.
