Rusororo: A local factory threatens people’s lives

Eight families from the Gatare cell, In Rusosoro sector affirm that the lives are endangered by proximity of a rock processing factory  established in their neighborhood. The UM– USEKE reporter visited  the site where big rocks are processed and found out  the severity of the situation.

This factory is located in between houses

Local people say that some of the stones jump to their houses and destroy the crops in the fields.

Another challenge they encounter relates to the sound pollution that comes from the huge machines in the factory.

Another issue that threatens our lives relates to the sand that enters our houses from the factory, said one the parents.

Parents are fearful about the health of their children in the future as they are exposed to such noisy sounds everyday coming from the neighboring  factory.

Our children are developing traumatic behaviors resulting from the dangerous daily exposure to heavily devastating pollution, some of the parents told UM– USEKE reporter.

A parent affirms that a cow  and two men died due to the negative consequences of the proximity of the factory.

Mukanziga Jacqueline urges competent organs to pay them the amount  of money so to allow them to relocate somewhere else.

Muheto Jean Claude, the secretary executive says he knows the situation  and says that he is currently trying to find out  a solution in  partnership with the factory  managers.

We advised the factory managers to mix water with the rocks before the processing so to reduce sand from attacking the nearby houses, said Muheto Jean Claude.

People living at Rusororo appreciate the presence of infrastructure in the area but affirm that  their lives are more precious than the factory that endangers their lives.

A stone has destroyed the roof of this house
Different crops are being spoiled by the stones from the factory.
Even the sand coming from the factory reaches the people’s houses
The stones attack people in their houses
