FORMER POLICE OFFICER MINTS MILLIONS FROM GARBAGE As he moved around the city while on duty as a police officer in the 90s and early 2000s, he would at times come across trash that was improperly disposed of. This was disturbing for Leon Benimana, a retired police officer. When he was demobilised in 2004, he formed a clearing firm. It was during this time that Benimana refined his idea of starting a garbage collection and processing firm. How he started Benimana, a resident of Iwacu, Kabusunzu in Nyarugenge District, says he had served the national police for 10 years before the 2004 demobilisation exercise. When he was retired, the 45-year-old invested his savings in the small clearing services business and also enrolled for a law degree course at Kigali Independent University (ULK). On graduation from the univeristy, most of his friends and family had expected Benimana to hit the courtroom to argue cases as a lawyer, but he had other plans. newtimes.co.rw/section/article/2014-12-30/184500/
