The army commander of Northern Province Brig Gen Alexis Kagame has recommended detention of disobedient young generation in rehabilitation centers as a way to help them change their immoral behaviors.
Addressing residents of Gasiza sector, Rulindo District in a closing ceremony of a monthly campaign on good-governance, Kagame added that rehabilitation centers like Iwawa are ideal since they offer trainings on vocational skills.
He said the beneficiaries become productive once they are integrated back in their respective societies and also serve as a role model to their former quack friends.
Kagame’s reactions are considered among solutions to curb the rise of crimes orchestrated by mostly the youth who are often caught in the acts of drug abuse, prostitution, robbery etc.
He further encouraged residents to report acts of indiscipline to relevant authorities since keeping silence on the issues facilitated the spread of insecurity in their neighborhoods.
In this respect, he cautioned particularly on domestic violence since it was among the leading cases resulting to deaths in the district.
“No one should take the law in their hands, we’re tired of hearing a man or a woman has died, if someone has really wronged you, report them to the police or local leaders and the law will take its course,” he advised.
