The speaker of Imotong State Assembly says the private visit of President Salva Kiir Mayardit to the state over the weekend has increased pressure on cattle herders to evacuate Pageri County.
Charles Udwar Ukech says while in Nimule, the president reechoed a public concern over evacuation of cattle from Pageri County to enable farmers produce enough food for South Sudan. Emmanuel Radio reports.
Speaker Udwar describes the security situation in the area as stable since President and his delegation travelled by road from Juba to Nimule.
Udwar spoke on Monday in the Assembly premises in Torit.
