“This is to see how we can integrate them into the larger society. They should also come and feel the presence of governance. Knowing their number will help us formulate good policies for their welfare and that of the society in general,” he added
The governor said his commitment to a more peaceful society informed his administration’s policy of establishing the Ruga Project, at Dansoshiya forest.

On Dansoshiya, the governor disclosed, “We have started the discussion with experts to come and grow grass that will be used in feeding cattle. Before this, we have provided some residential areas, a good system of water supply, and other facilities for herders. And they have since started relocating to Dansoshiya.”
