Operation ‘Ston Brukim Ston’ was officially launched today to clean up Yangoru-Saussia District before the country celebrates 50 years of Independence. Member for Yangoru-Saussia and Minister for International Trade and Investment Richard Maru today launched the operation. Mr Maru said as part of preparing the district for the 50th Independence Anniversary celebrations, they will start with a major clean-up of crime and all criminals in the district. “Operation Ston brukim Ston has three (3) key objectives, and they are to bring all criminals who are on the run and not convicted to justice, prevent more crimes, and create a more conducive environment for business to thrive in our district.” He said that the operation will be fully funded by the Yangoru-Saussia District Development Authority at the cost of K1 million. Mr Maru explained that the major police operation together with the support of all local leaders and their communities is to ensure all criminals on the run and those not prosecuted and convicted must be brought to justice. “We are beefing our police resources by providing two brand new houses to police in Yangoru for a new prosector and a new CID Officer.” “We will provide these two critical officers with two new vehicles.” “Ela Motors had been a very big letdown for the district as the two vehicles that we bought in 2023 have still not been delivered to our prosecutor and CID Officer.” He added that they are working around the clock to have these two vehicles delivered to support the 7 months crime-clean-up operations. “With the arrival of the first batch of mobile police officers next week to begin possession of the new Yangoru Mobile Barracks, we will have sufficient manpower to commence this police operation.” “To the criminals in Yangoru-Saussia District your days are numbered.” “We will declare war on all murderers, rapists, armed robbers, those who produced and consume homebrew and those engaged in domestic violence.”
