New Year: Police urges public to enjoy responsibly

Police spokesperson CP John Bosco Kabera.

Kigali: When Rwandans are celebrating the New Year, Rwanda National Police (RNP) has appealed to the general public to avoid and report anything that can affect safe celebrations and the wellbeing of the people.

RNP spokesperson, Commissioner of Police (CP) John Bosco Kabera emphasized “safety first and careful celebrations” to ensure that no life or property is lost.

He noted that “celebrations should be in compliance with the law” and “not at the expense of other people’s beliefs and rights.”

“Don’t drink and drive, don’t over-speed, avoid distractions on the road, avoid noise pollution, don’t leave your house or children unattended, do not serve or sell alcoholic beverages to minors,” CP Kabera.

Article 27 of law that protects children states that, any person who offers a child alcoholic beverages or tobacco, commits an offense. (Fin)
