Community Empowerment for Progress Organization or CEPO office in Rumbek is urging the government to collaborate with community chiefs in formulating strategies to carry out disarmament in the state.
State coordinator Gabriel Mabor Mangar says local chiefs know their communities and their contribution can make disarmament easier.
He adds the disarmament process should include a legal frame work that control possession of illegal arms and light weapons.
There have been several disarmament exercises carried out in Lakes but the widespread of illegal arms keep increasing.
