The sub Chief of Moruari Block B area, Ilangi Boma of Torit town is calling on state government to create opened spaces for recreational activities in un-demarcated areas of residence.
Susan Ading while presenting the challenges facing her community says Moruari B residential area has no opened space for recreation, Radio Emmanuel reports.
Although the area is peaceful, health centers still remains a challenge, making it difficult to respond on urgent human wellbeing concerns, she complains.

While the Mayor of Torit Juliana Momoi Choho speaking in Arabic says some parts of Moruari B is not demarcated, that makes it impossible to create opened spaces.
She says issues of opened spaces in un-demarcated residential areas need time as the government is developing plans to address issues of un-surveyed land.

Some of the challenges facing communities in Moruari include insufficient water sources and market centers among others.
