The Mayor of Juba City H.W Michael Lado Allah-Jabu has decried sabotage and interference on his work by other authorities, but he couldn\u2019t disclose exactly those he said intrude to his activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He made the disclosure while addressing magnitude at the Governor\u2019s Peace Dissemination Tour in Juba on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allah-Jabu requested to be respected while executing his roles and duties as Juba city mayor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere is supposed to be no interference in the work plan, we need to be respected, let\u2019s stop interference in the work\u2026 we can be instructed that there is problem like this and then we implement, not that we plan the same thing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t know who is the protocol, you don\u2019t know who is the press secretary, [and] you don\u2019t know who is for the security \u2026everybody is handling thing the way he [she] wants,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mayor however appealed to the citizens to aid in cleaning up the city which is everyone\u2019s responsibility as they introduce a new way of collecting garbage in the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNext week, tax collectors will start collecting two thousand South Sudanese Pounds so that we will be able to hire vehicles to collect wastes straight from your areas. We need cooperation from you,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last year, a new company call \u2018Go Green\u2019 was introduced into the city by the same office to be in charge of collecting the garbage but out of the blue, the entity ceased its operations that still lock off citizens from the truth.
\u201cWe know there was a company, a company call East Africa Go green, they worked for five months but they disagreed among themselves within until the company was closed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mayor said they had undergone a burden in hiring other trucks for five hundred United States dollars daily when the company was closed down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have reached to the extend when the company was closed\u2026 we were under pressure until we were hiring garbage truck at 500 USD per container to be carried to the dumping areas,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt costed us a lot of money and this is where your money is going [taxes collected].\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said they have been accused severally of closing shops, laying more taxes or double which is never the case with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He blamed the techniques that the tax collectors are using while collecting money from tax payers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mayor Allah-Jabu as well vowed to reform their system of tax collections to have an agreed figure per shop. He threatened its members of their positions in case anyone is to add up the agreed figure during operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLet the rate be taken the way it is officially agreed, if it is 100,000 if it is 50,000, let it be so, no body should add his\/her own money. From today onwards, if we get somebody adding more money, we will have theatre for you, \u2026we will take away your position,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
