Commissioner of Yei River County in Central Equatoria State Aggrey Cyrus Kanyikwa urges motorcycle riders commonly known as Boda-Boda to stop moving to risky areas.
He advises them to value their lives by avoiding getting money in a way that endangers life and taking one to death, Radio Easter reported.
The call came after reports that some Boda-boda riders went missing after taking customers to far distances.
The local government leader urges the holdout groups like the National Salvation Front to cease their activities of waging war and join the government.
Aggrey wonders why NAS targets and burns humanitarian vehicles and civilian properties if they are fighting for the liberation of the civil population.
The commissioner believes Medicine San Frontiers or MSF rescues and treats anyone and it can also treat them.
He adds that the war waged by the National Salvation Front can only be achieved by their participation in the government.
“Boda-Boda should avoid risky roads. If it is risky, please don’t endanger your life because of money. You can get money at anytime but you cannot get your life. You better save your life and avoid money that takes you to death”, he advises.
“The holdout groups is the National Salvation Front don’t see the reason why they are waging war when this war that they are waging can be achieved by their participation in the government”, he adds.
Commissioner Cyrus regrets that waging war will never change or improve a system, but only destroys and kills life.
He believes that there are good leaders in the bush with good ideas that could help in the building of the nation.
The government official appeals to the NAS forces to join the government in order to improve the system and avoid fighting for self interest.
The local government leader was reacting after reports that some boda-boda riders went missing after taking clients to far distances in Yei River County.
