Traders in Tonj South County complained of stray dogs and waste materials in Manyatta market.
Yel Madut Agany, one of the traders said dogs in the market threaten customers, making it difficult for them to come and buy at evening hours.
He added that the market was full of rubbish while the government collects money every month.
A business woman, Rebecca Angelo, said every month government collects the money from them and the workers collect the rubbish once a month.
She added that government needs money, but it is not concerned about the life of the people.
Rebecca expressed worries of their health condition because dogs are dangerous to people.
She stressed that grinding machines for groundnuts are just in open places where dogs come at night to lick the paste.
She asked the government to pressurize machine owners to build houses or else stop them because it will lead to many diseases.
Rebecca urged the government to give orders to kill stray dogs and keep the market clean or else traders should stop paying the rates demanded.
The speakers talked to Radio Don Bosco on Thursday in Tonj, but town authorities declined to comment on the matter.
