The executive secretary of Kicukiro district, Adarbert RUKEBANUKA has said that the district still faces a challenge of poor hygiene. He said that there are places in Kicukiro where people are still living in poor levels of hygiene.

Kayiranga Jean Damascene, executive secretary of Kanserege cell, said daily patrols are conducted every morning before work time ensuring the places are well cleaned.
He said, “Those found lacking proper hygiene are summoned to the general assembly before residents for advice. To avoid shame on them, those exposed do their best to promote hygiene.”
