Fatshimetrie, the leading news site for Lubero residents, recently announced an innovative initiative being implemented in the Bapere sector. Indeed, Chief Macaire Sivikunulwa has taken a bold step by establishing what he calls a “rain barrier” on the Nziapanda-Kambau road section, linking the town of Butembo to the city of Mangurejipa. This decision aims to protect a key agricultural access road, affected by bad weather and the passage of heavy goods vehicles.
During this rainy season, the road between Nziapanda and Kambau is particularly vulnerable to damage caused by heavy vehicles. This is why the sector chief has decided to temporarily block truck traffic, inviting them to wait until the road is dry enough to avoid any further damage. A radical measure, but necessary to preserve infrastructure and ensure the safety of users.
Macaire Sivikunulwa warns offenders, threatening them with financial penalties and reparations to be made in the event of non-compliance with these regulations. He stresses the importance of preserving roads and public infrastructure, emphasizing that everyone has a role to play in preserving the environment and common heritage.
This initiative highlights the importance of good resource management and urban planning to ensure sustainable and harmonious development. By raising awareness among local stakeholders about the challenges of preserving infrastructure, the Bapere sector chief sets an example and invites everyone to act responsibly to preserve our common living environment.
In conclusion, the establishment of this “rain barrier” on the Nziapanda-Kambau section is a courageous measure aimed at protecting service roads and raising awareness among users about the challenges of preserving infrastructure. An initiative that deserves to be welcomed and encouraged, in a context where the preservation of the environment and collective heritage is more relevant than ever.
