According to the Rwanda National Police, local leaders involving in the smuggling of these stuffs make the fight against the use of these drugs very complicated and RNP warns these entities to stop it and increase efforts to track down the users of the beverages.

Mr Gatwaza Patrick,one of Muhanga Distric officials told the gathering that recently in the Shyogwe Sector,a local leader has been proven to have been involved in this undercover trade.

“It was very difficult to track him down as one opinion leaders of the cell” Gatwaza told the dignitaries attending the training.

Both Gatwaza and Chief Superintendant of Police in South Province Rumanzi Sam told the attendants that the use of the illegal drugs is a crime that needs to be fought against with the effort of everyone.

In the past meeting ,02,August,2013 that took place in the district, measures were taken to hinder the use of these vicious drugs and to punish every person involved into the use of them. However the use of these drugs is still observable hence more efforts to eradicate them once for all.
