Authorities of Kajo-keji County of Central Equatoria State on Tuesday reported appalling living conditions created by presence of Internally Displaced Persons or IDPs overcrowding schools and health centres.
Kajo-Keji County Press Secretary Amule Charles told CRN in a telephone interview that schools opened for first term, but were experiencing shortage of classrooms.
He added that influx of IDPs to Kajo-Keji cause scramble for health, education services and clean drinking water.
Mr Amule said lack of drugs and limited medical personnel in hospital and health facilities worsened the situation.
The Press Secretary disclosed that a state government delegation led by Allan Morgan Lukudu was in Kajo-Keji to assess development activities carried out with County Development Grant or CDG and Constituency Development Fund or CDF.
Mr Amule said Commissioner Henry Kala Sabuni told the delegation about poor roads linking Kajo-Keji to Juba and Lainya Counties.
The Commissioner also complained bad feeder roads within the county.
The official revealed that many schools were operating under trees.
