Mu iperereza ryabo, abategetsi bafashe ibizamini by’icyitegererezo (samples/échantillons) byo muri kompanyi 10 zisya zikora ibiryo by’imbwa bikoze mu bigori, ndetse zitunganya ibyo binyampeke kugira ngo bivemo ibigori biseye, abantu barya.

Mu kiganiro n’abanyamakuru ku wa kabiri, Muchima yavuze ko imihindagurikire y’ikirere n’ingaruka z’amapfa (uruzuba mu Kirundi) aherutse kuba muri Zambia, “byongereye cyane iboneka ry’uruhumbu muri uyu mwaka w’ihinga”.

“Leta ivuga ko ikirimo ‘gukora iperereza ku ngano y’ahakwirakwiriye ibigori birimo uburozi’. Umva, ifunguro ribi [ry’ibigori] riracyari hanze aha ririmo kuribwa!”
