Icyo abaturage bavuga

Abaturage bamwe bagaragaje ko bamenye akamaro ko gukora isuku yo mu kanwa, ariko bakagira imbogamizi mu kubona ibikoresho by’isuku. Umwe mu baturage bo mu Karere ka Nyagatare yagize ati: “Nzi ko koza amenyo ari ingenzi, ariko kubona uburoso n’umuti w’amenyo biragoye kubera ubushobozi buke.”
