Kajo-Keji County Press Secretary says Canadian-South Sudan Savannah Farmers’ Company partnership delegate Brian Gyke during a visit on Thursday discloses a plan to deliver cultivation and harvest machinery within August 2015.
Derrick Derrickson tells CRN Yanta Daniel Elisha in a telephone interview that the arrival of the machinery is expected to boost massive cereal production and reduction in food commodity prices to address economic crisis in South Sudan.
The Press Secretary says security convoys are underway to secure Juba-Kajo-Keji road to deter recurrent attacks against travelers like July 18 incident that left four passengers shot dead and eight others wounded by unidentified attackers.
Recurrent cases of highway robbery, murder and rape of men and women along Juba-Yei, Juba-Kajo-Keji and Juba-Terekeka roads are heightening insecurity in Central Equatoria State where the seat of the presidency is.
