He asked for empathy from them towards the activists who returned to the party after its reunification.
Furthermore, Mr. Bazombaza recommended that activists in the new province of Gitega put their hands in their pockets to contribute to the construction work of the party’s provincial headquarters, a project underway in the Musinzira district, in the center. urban area of Gitega.
