The South Sudan Civil Society forum or SSCSF commends the high level taskforce on COVID 19 and international partners on their efforts to fight the pandemic in the country.
During a press briefing read by Executive director of Organization for Responsive Governance Rajab Mohandis it says the SSCSF notes with concern that there are still gaps in the high level task committee and it requires additional members.
He adds the committee is mainly made up of politicians with no representatives from civil society, church leaders, youth and others to fight the disease.
Rajab says the high level taskforce on COVID 19 is largely Juba based with no well resource and functional equivalence to implement decisions at state level.
The civil society activist stresses the traffic police and security personnel in Juba stop drivers asking them for their log books without observing the 1.5 metre social distancing.
Meanwhile Jame David Kolok chairperson for SSCSF appeals to the government to quickly release money for the fight against the pandemic in a transparent manner.
The SSCSF calls on the government to quickly respond to appointments of governors in order to oversee activities of taskforce committee at states level.
The activists made the remarks on Wednesday in Juba.
