GoSS Minister for Roads and Transport said his ministry intends to rehabilitate seventy thousand kilometres of roads in Southern Sudan but lack of funds has blocked the project.
Anthony Lino Makana told the press today at the 2010 Work Plan Conference for Sudan Infrastructure Services Project that although funds are not enough, most highways in the region will be upgraded to marrum, gravel and tarmac roads.
He said he visited China and signed a contract for the supply of road construction equipments to be distributed to states to enable them to rehabilitate their own ways.
Mr. Makana confirmed that Juba river port will be upgraded to enhance the water transport system in the region.
He added that feasibility studies for the railway transportation are under way.
The Catholic Radio Network (CRN) is a media project constituted by community-based radio stations broadcasting in Frequency Modulation from Juba, Yei, Torit, Yambio, Rumbek, Tonj, Wau, and Malakal. CRN has also a station in the Nuba Mountains. All the stations share the same vision and mission, and are bound by common editorial and administrative policies. All stations broadcast shared programs in English: news, civic education, and other educational programs. Due to the heterogeneous realities of South Sudan, each station is rooted in its locality and broadcasts locally produced culture-sensitive programs in the languages which are understood by the local people. For its outreach, CRN has a potential audience of about seven million people, considering the influx of returnees to South Sudan after the Sudan Population Census 2008.
