Africa Resource Cooperation or ARC Company entrusted with the construction of Juba-Yei-Kaya high way conducted stakeholders’ consultative meeting to find public opinion on community acceptance and effects the road building will incur on citizens.
The meeting also aims at opening grounds for smooth construction of the road with available human resource and materials traditional leaders will avail, Radio Easter reported.
ARC Program Coordinator in Yei, Juma David Augustine, appeals for cooperation from the stakeholders for successful completion of the project.
Yei Paramount Chief Joseph Brown Lomuse asks the community to assist the construction company because the road may bring losses on inhabitants.
He calls for cooperation if plantations and buildings fall along the demarcation.
Meanwhile Yei River County Commissioner Aggrey Cyrus Kanyikwa calls on the citizens in Yei to support the road construction.
He appeals for defence of the road construction from anti-development elements.
Juba-Yei-Kaya road construction is a national government initiative to enable the movement of goods and service as well as to put infrastructure in place and to improve the standard of living of citizens.
The sixty metre radius road is 218 kilometres under ARC project with nine other national subcontractors
