Ministers, Vincent Biruta of Natural resources, Germaine Kamayirese, Minister of State in Charge of Energy and Water in the Ministry of Infrastructure, Governors of Southern and Northern Provinces, Heads of Security organs, C.E.Os, DGs, Staff from the Ministry and agencies and residents of Muhanga and Ngororero Districts.

The main activity during the community work was to plant trees alongside the power plant dam to protect the environment and tremendous erosion that may occur during heavy rains seasons. This marks the symbol of maintaining and owning this important infrastructure project that is connected to the national grid to produce 28MW meant to reduce power shortages in the country.
