Yei River County Commissioner in Central Equatoria state said the cut down of the development grants affected service delivery.
 
Juma David Augustine clarified that the grants are no longer coming to the county but the citizens are expecting services.
 
The Commissioner said should the government get funds it has to put Yei as priority in terms of extra support to boost services provision.
 
Mr Juma revealed that Yei was getting two million South Sudanese Pounds from the Local Government which is very small compared to the rapid growing population.
 
He lamented that Yei which has one of the big referral hospitals in the state does not have a single ambulance.
 
Mr Juma pointed out that Yei Civil Hospital is treating people from Lainya, Morobo and Juba counties.
 
He said most parts of the county lack Primary Health Care Centres that could help rural population.
 
Commissioner asked for more support from national and state governments to boost services provision.
