\u201cYour Excellency, with your presence I will shorten my speech because the bulldozers and caterpillars are the only [ones] talking on the road,\u201d said Minister Mijak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLet me shorten my words with a military language and you are the commander in chief of organized forces\u2026 my bulldozers which I call them P-72 [assault rifles], you have seen them working on the road,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mijak further appreciated the national army, police and the national security for guarding the construction equipment and staff, adding that roads constructions are ongoing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are heading ahead to Rumbek and I assure you \u2013 your Excellency we will capture Rumbek because already this is ODM campaign which the number will be put later on,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRumbek has been circulated by roads to Yei, Mundari, Mvolo and the armies of roads are there, from Wau its close,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minister of roads and Bridges described that construction of roads is ongoing in Aweil and Kuajok and they will be heading next to Raja, Maper, Mayendit and Bentiu in Unity State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn the eastern part, already bright star has captured Torit and Bor; your Excellency in few weeks to come you will do the same to open 200 KM road from Juba to Bor and then launch the second phase from Bor to Ayod which will be our target this season,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other roads will be Yei, Kaya, Morobo, and Lainya all the way to Yambio in Western Equatoria State.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn Upper Nile the target we want to connect is Renk \u2013 Malakal, Wau \u2013 Malakal and then Pagak \u2013 Palouch this is most of the summary,\u201d he noted.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
