Governor of Central Equatoria State, Rabi Mujung Emmanuel has urged residents to stop illegal demarcation of public land.
The governor, in a press statement, noted that there were reports of illegal allotment of public space by some individuals in parts of Juba City.
Gen. Rabi directed Juba County commission to halt any illegal allotment of public space such as roads.
“The roads in question are Road-40 and Sharia Arrbeyin, which runs east to west through Jopa, connecting Blocks 3, 4, 6, and 7 to Gurei,” the statement indicated.
The second contentious road is in Gudele West behind Kuburi Haboba Bridge, which runs from east to west toward Mary Queen Church,
“These roads should, with immediate effect, be preserved and used for their intended public purpose,” the state governor stressed.
He called on the public to cease encroaching on public land, adding that the roads are not meant to be allotted for settlement.
“These roads have not been authorized or sanctioned for allotment as plots for residential purposes,” Gen. Rabi warned.
