N’ubwi bimeze bityo ariko, abagize amtsinda y’abatwara aya magare baturutse mu bihugu bitandukanye byo muri EAC, bavuga ko batishimiye uko bafatwa, na cyane ko bavuga ko baba bahagarariye ibihugu baba baturutsemo.

Bose icyo bahurizaho nk’impamvu ibasunikira gukomeza kwitabira uru rugendo, ni ukuba babasha kubona inshuti muri bagenzi babo baturutse mu bindi bihugu, bityo bakaba babona andi mahirwe aturutse mu kumenyana.

Izi mbogamizi kandi zemezwa na John Bosco Balongo, uhagarariye Great Africa Cycling Safari, uvuga ko imbogamizi ya mbere ibagoye ari iy’amikoro.

Ati “Imbogamizi ya mbere ni amikoro, kuko hari ubwo tugenda ibilometero nta mazi yo kunywa tubonye. Indi mbogamizi ni ukuba turi kumwe n’abantu baturuka hirya no hino mu mico itandukanye, hari ubwo habaho kutumvikana haba mu rurimi ndetse no ku bindi bintu bitandukanye, ndetse rimwe na rimwe hakabaho no kuba abantu barwana. Icya ngombwa ni uko twicara nk’ikipe imwe, tukabikemura”.
