Ernesto Tchiwale referred that the implicated were surprised by the forces of order, when they were questioned in a micro operation, which stopped the truck where they were transporting the 24 rails of the railway, in the municipality of Ganda.
The theft of means of the railways in the country is a phenomenon that has been worrying the authorities in recent times, due to the high losses caused to the State.
