He also issued a call for community cooperation, urging residents to adopt a proactive stance by protecting one another and responding swiftly to alarms rather than waiting for an attack to conclude.

This local initiative aligns with a broader district-wide strategy recently outlined by Kisoro District Police Commander Ben Niwamanya Kashumbusha, who stated that sub-counties currently lacking police posts are slated to receive them.
The DPC named Kirundo Sub County as one of the first on the list to benefit from the initiative while assuring that other areas across the district will have their requests addressed in due course.
