Residents of Kaberebere Town Council temporarily halted Hon. Balaam’s convoy as he made his way to Isingiro District, urging him to first inspect an abattoir they claim was constructed using substantial government funds but does not meet the expected standards.
The residents gathered along the roadside, expressing their dissatisfaction with the project and calling for immediate intervention. According to community members, the facility has raised concerns over its quality and whether it reflects the level of public investment reportedly committed to its construction.
Determined to have their voices heard, the residents appealed to Hon. Balaam to personally assess the abattoir before proceeding with the rest of his scheduled engagements in the district.
In response to their concerns, Hon. Balaam agreed to make the stop, assuring the residents that he would inspect the facility firsthand. His decision was welcomed by the crowd, who viewed the visit as an opportunity for an independent assessment of the project and its compliance with the expected standards.
