Central Equatoria Member of Parliament representing Nyepo Payam in Kajo-Keji County urged the government not to entertain communities moving with guns.
MP Dabe Francis who was reacting after eight unknown gunmen robbed five vehicles along Juba-Kajo-Keji road on Tuesday, called for effective disarmament of communities loitering with weapons.
He warned that the presence of cattle keeping communities along Juba-Kajo-Keji road is a threat to citizens’ lives and properties.
The MP reported that Kajo-Keji Transport and Investment Company drivers operating between Juba and Kajo-Keji fell in the hands of eight armed youth and robbed their money and telephones.
The state legislator complained that the same incident occurred for several times, calling on the government to disarm every community to stop gunpoint looting in South Sudan.
The MP said citizens prosper in development activities in the country with better security and accountability.
