Tambura welcomes decision of Western Equatoria State Acting governor, to temporarily relocate his office operations to the county.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Acting governor, Daniel Badagbu, announced on Independence Day, that he would relocate his office and cabinet to Tambura County, to restore peace and stability.<\/p>\n

However, while talking to No. 1 Citizen Daily Newspaper<\/em><\/strong>, Tombura Commissioner, Mathew Edward Mabenge welcomed the decision.<\/p>\n

He said, arrival of the Acting governor will greatly improve peace and security in the county, though there are some elements who opposed harmony.<\/p>\n

According to the commissioner, Tombura county would gain peace after the governor holds talks with those causing instability.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese people rejected peace, so let him come then we sit together and call all those who are creating this inconvenience and find a final remarkable solution to this issue,\u201d Mabenge said.<\/p>\n

According to the commissioner, some of the perpetrators of insecurity in the county are well known to the people of Tambura.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven some of them are sleeping within the town and early morning they get away,\u201d Mabenge noted.<\/p>\n

He said they intend to engage chiefs, elders, women and youth leaders, to talk to the people so that peace is attained in Tambura.<\/p>\n

Asked why they have to wait until the Acting governor intervenes, if the perpetrators of insecurity are well known to the community, Mathew said engagement with the Acting governor is the last resort.<\/p>\n

He emphasized that county does not want to violate the revitalized peace agreement hence the Acting governor will not travel with additional troops.<\/p>\n

Adding his view to the development, Ter Manyang, the Executive Director, Center for Peace and Advocacy said the move by the Acting governor is a good step in maintaining security and order, in Tambura.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeeing the (Acting) governor on the ground would be a strong statement, because a governor is the head of security in the state,\u201d he said, emphasizing that the security situation in Tambura is very complicated.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Kalisto Kumbangako, a resident, in optimism, welcomed the governor\u2019s idea to see firsthand, what is happening in Tambura.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is good that he is coming to see for himself. The local authorities have been talking but it seems no one was listening until now. We hope Tambura\u2019s security situation will change,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
