Juba County Commissioner is threatened of a renewed invasion by cattle herders into the geographical area of his jurisdiction.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Eng. Charles Joseph Wani raised an alarm during the swearing-in of a new paramount chief of Juba County, on Tuesday.<\/p>\n He said there is verified information about some chiefs involved in a conspiracy to allow the cattle that were forcefully driven out, to return to Juba.<\/p>\n \u201cWe know some of you chiefs; among you are some chiefs who are allowing these cattle to enter Juba. I warn you (Chiefs)! I have already suspended one of you, and I am telling you so that you do not be surprised or wonder why it is happening,\u201d Wani disclosed.<\/p>\n The Commissioner added that there are also some chiefs who have mastered being chiefs in land grabbing.<\/p>\n Commissioner Wani warned that at this period of time he won\u2019t compromise any chief, be it Payam, Boma, or sub chief, who is involved in acts disturbing the peace of the county.<\/p>\n “Please, I assign all of you to engage in activities that give praise to God. Some of you, our elders, are behaving in a manner that makes us not respect you,\u201d he echoed. And that is because you do not respect yourselves\u201d he echoed.<\/p>\n \u201cWe all know that land has become a contentious issue in Juba, but many of you are involved in this illegal practice,\u201d he alleged.<\/p>\n The commissioner vowed to deal with any chief engaging in conspiracy against the development and peace of the citizens of Juba County.<\/p>\n \u201cI promise to deal with issues with all my life, even if it will cost my life. I am ready,\u201d County Commissioner Wani committed.<\/p>\n For his part, outgoing Executive Director of Juba County, Bernard Alex Mati, advised all chiefs to distance themselves from the politics of the country.<\/p>\n He cautioned that at this crucial time where politicians will, on many occasions, seek to use influential and powerful individuals for political gains, chiefs must be sensitive.<\/p>\n \u201cYou are for all people. You are not for any party. All parties are your parties. If you feel that politics is your calling, kindly remove that uniform, leave the position for nonpartisans, and continue with your political aspirations,\u201d Mati advised.<\/p>\n He underscored that the year 2024 is a critical period that will bring both fortunes and tough challenges, but only people have to embrace unity and peace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Charles K Mark Juba County Commissioner is threatened of a renewed invasion by cattle herders into the geographical area of his jurisdiction.
