Munuki business resident criticized the discriminative electricity supply in Juba City where government residences including Hai Jalabba, Amarat, Thoura and Atlabara have constant power while Munuki remains dark for over three months now.
Nathana Peter Balli told CRN that he saw clear discrimination in electricity supply between officials and ordinary citizens, yet they pay the same bill of 240 South Sudanese Pounds for the service.
He observed that darkness in the area exposes ordinary citizens to more insecurity than officials.
Mr Peter added that some government officials even do not pay electricity bills, wondering how poor citizens can develop and benefit from government services.
The resident warned generators’ users against polluting neighbours with noise and carbon monoxide that affects human health.
He advised citizens to respect and care for one another, suggesting generators’ owners to use silencers or change to solar energy system.
The resident appealed to the National Electricity Corporation to distribute electricity power equally to public by increasing the number of generators.
