And, as now there is a commission that exists, as soon as the last case occurred, the commission went to the scene to begin discussions with the victim and above all to encourage him to lodge a complaint.
If we do that again, the same people who think we're inactive will think we're breaking the law, otherwise it's very easy to pick up and put everyone in jail.
In an interview he gave this Saturday, April 30, 2022 to our editorial staff, the Minister of Agriculture and Livestock spoke about the fire phenomenon of which several agricultural entrepreneurs are victims in the prefectures of Kindia , Dubreka, Forecariah, (Lower Guinea).
That's what we're doing, but it's clear that we're going to hunt them down and we're going to punish them.

Charles Wright to get guidance on how to deal with old cases first.
Our commission that has been created has members who already have mission plans to go into the field and raise awareness, but also to initiate the first prosecutions in the localities.
We had already started to take action before the new case occurred.
It is even more worrying and sadder to see that Guineans are able to set fire to the results of years of work of other Guineans.
