The National Telecommunication Ministry called on mobile operators to expand the network coverage to the rural communities.
Speaking to radio Easter while in Yei River County, deputy minister Beatrice Khamisa Wani said her ministry directed the telecommunication companies to provide network coverage to areas not connected to improve communications countrywide.
Ms Khamisa said the ministry is working hard to ensure that all rural communities are covered with mobile networks.
There are four major telecommunication service providers operating in South Sudan.
