Abagejejweho amazi meza barashima

Nyirigira Nicolas, umuyobozi w’ikigo cy’amashuri cya EP Cyeru, ishuri riherereye mu Murenge wa Masaka, Akagari ka Rusheshe, Umudugudu wa Cyeru, avuga ko iryo shuri ryubatswe mu mwaka wa 2020 ritangira rifite ikibazo cy’amazi cyari kibakomereye.

Ashimira Water For People yabagejejeho amazi meza kuko bo nta bushobozi buhagije bari bafite bwo gukurura ayo mazi no kuyageza ku kigo.

Ati “Uwo muyoboro bawukuye mu birometero 3,5 bityo n’abaturage ari bo babyeyi turerera na bo bagira amahirwe yo gufatiraho amazi. Ubu baravoma amazi meza, n’abana bakanywa amazi meza nta kibazo gihari. Water For People imaze kudukururira uwo muyoboro munini w’amazi meza ya WASAC, ubu ku ishuri ryacu hari ibibazo byagiye bikemuka kuko ayo mazi adufasha gutegura ifunguro ry’abanyeshuri rikaza rifite isuku. Ni mu gihe mbere twakoreshaga amazi navuga ko yari mabi twabaga twavomye ku ijerekani, ayandi twatumye abana bakayavoma ku mugezi w’Akagera uri hafi y’ishuri.”

“Aya mazi ni na yo abanyeshuri banywa atunganyijwe. Byadufashije kuba abana batakirwaragurika, mu gihe winjiraga nko mu ishuri ugasanga abana benshi barwariye rimwe ibicurane n’inkorora. Ubu abana banywa amazi meza, nta kibazo bafite, na za ndwara zaragabanutse.”

Nyirigira Nicolas avuga ko ayo mazi ari na yo abanyeshuri bakoresha mu gukaraba, bakanayifashisha mu gukora isuku ahantu hatandukanye mu kigo. Water For People yabahaye n’ikigega cya meterokibe 10 gifata ayo mazi meza, ndetse n’ibindi bibiri bya meterokibe 10 bifata amazi y’imvura.

Ati “Bidufasha guhorana amazi haba mu mpeshyi ndetse no mu gihe cy’imvura kuko tuyabika twifashishije ibyo bigega.”

Iri shuri rya EP Cyeru ni ryo ryubatswe nyuma muri Kicukiro, ni na ryo Water For People yagejejeho ibi bikorwa remezo by’amazi nyuma y’andi mashuri yose.

Abaturage na bo bavuga ko bajyaga barwara inzoka kubera kunywa amazi yanduye, ariko ubu ngo ntibakirwaragurika, bagashimira ababagejejeho amazi meza.

Umuyobozi Nshingwabikorwa w’Akarere ka Kicukiro, Mutsinzi Antoine, avuga ko batangiye gukorana na Water For People muri 2009, ubu bakaba bishimira aho bageze.

Ati “Ugereranyije n’aho twari turi mu kugeza amazi meza ku baturage, haba mu ngo zabo no ku bigo by’amashuri, duhagaze neza kuko Kicukiro iri mu Turere dufite umubare munini w’abaturage bagerwaho n’amazi meza. Ibigega by’amazi byaratanzwe mu mashuri no mu ngo. Rero turishimira imikoranire twagiranye kuko umusaruro wavuyemo urigaragaza.”

Nubwo basoje ibikorwa byabo muri Kicukiro, ibikorwa byo ngo ntibizahagarara burundu kuko mu gihe havuka Umudugudu mushya cyangwa ikigo gishya cy’ishuri, ivuriro, cyangwa ahandi hakenerwa amazi, bizera ko aho na ho amazi meza azahagezwa binyuze mu mikoranire n’ikigo WASAC Group na MININFRA n’abandi bafatanyabikorwa.

Eugene Dusingizumuremyi uyobora Water For People mu Rwanda, ahamagarira indi miryango itari iya Leta, abikorera ndetse na Leta ubwayo gufatanya mu gukemura ibibazo by’amazi, isuku n’isukura aho bikigaragara hirya no hino mu Gihugu.

Ati “Urugendo rwacu muri Kicukiro rwatangiye muri 2009. Intego yacu yari uko buri Mudugudu, buri shuri na buri kigo nderabuzima byose bigira ibikorwa by’amazi n’isuku hagendewe ku bipimo bya Leta y’u Rwanda. Ibi rero muri Kicukiro ntibyabaye intego gusa, ahubwo twabonye ko bishoboka. Ndashimira Guverinoma y’u Rwanda ku bw’imikoranire myiza twagiranye by’umwihariko mu gihe cy’ibikorwa twakoreye muri Kicukiro. Turizera ko nka WASAC nk’urwego rubifite mu nshingano ruzakomeza kwita ku bikorwa remezo by’amazi byubatswe kugira ngo bizafashe abaturage mu gihe kirekire.”

Uyu muyobozi avuga ko nyuma yo kurangiza ibikorwa byabo muri Kicukiro, bakomereje mu tundi turere tw’icyaro bakoreramo ari na two bagiye kwibandaho kugira ngo na two tubashe kugira ibikorwa nk’ibyo Akarere ka Kicukiro kagezeho. Biyemeje kandi ko n’ibikorwa remezo byagezweho bazakomeza gufatanya kubyongera kuko n’abantu biyongera.
