South Sudan Transitional National Legislative Assembly is set to convene in an extraordinary sitting today to discuss dispute on border, between Kajo-Keji County of Central Equatoria State and Uganda.<\/p>\n
The session was adjourned yesterday after House Speaker Hon. Jemma Nunu Kumba failed to show up and her Deputies were also nowhere to be seen.<\/p>\n
The Chairperson of the Information Committee at the Transitional Legislative Assembly, John Agany said he even does not know the reason for the absence of the speaker.<\/p>\n
Other hot motions on the agenda, are the rise of child abduction, brutal killing of road travelers and ruthless cattle raiding in Nyirol County Jonglei State.<\/p>\n
Tensions in Kajo-Keji County have escalated following allegations by locals that Uganda People’s Defense Forces 9UPDF) are encroaching on the South Sudan Territories and establishing a base there.<\/p>\n
A joint proposal meeting between border communities was postponed last week after Kajo-Keji authorities protested the deployment of UPDF forces.<\/p>\n
In May, the chief of Kajo Keji County accused Ugandans of encroaching on South Sudan land as they cunningly settled their families in the country\u2019s territory.<\/p>\n
Executive chief of Bamurye boma, Kangapo II payam of Kajo-Keji County, Gonyi Anthony, said Ugandans from Moyo district of Uganda had pitched tents in South Sudan territory.<\/p>\n
According to the chief, the settlement of Ugandans had thrown the lives of the local inhabitants into abyss, including attempted rape and grabbing of property.<\/p>\n
Gonyi stated that the Ugandans in question resided at Adire Primary School in Barmuye Boma where they wanted to raise their flag.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
