Commissioners are appealing to the entire citizens of Yei, Lainya, Kajo-Keji and Morobo Counties, to work for peace in the areas.
Morobo Commissioner, Joseph Mawa John, says the county leaders are working together to ensure that peace prevails in the region.
He calls on the citizens of the three counties, to work with the government, without any hesitation, discrimination and disturbance.
Mawa expresses their commitment to bring durable peace, to enjoy service delivery and freedom of movement, without any road ambush.
“So we are here as the three county commissioners and our role, we want peace in Yei, we want to bring durable peace in the areas for people to move freely, women will be able to go and fetch firewood without any disturbance. This is our target as commissioners of greater Yei. We need to work together as greater Yei, if you go out tell people you are from greater Yei regardless of where you come from. These are our objectives as the commissioners of greater Yei, “said Mawa.
Lainya County Commissioner, Emmanuel Khamis Richard, says peace will only prevail if everybody works for it.
“God will not bring peace to Yei, president Salva will not bring peace, we as people of greater Yei, if we are serious that we need peace, we will be the ones to bring the peace because we are the reason why there is no peace in the area. If you have heard some time back that there was an ambush in Lainya, these are the sons of Lainya, if you go to Yei, and it’s the sons of Yei likewise in Morobo. We are the ones destroying our future as people of greater Yei. So if we want peace, we are to bring it”, the Commissioner reiterated.
The Two commissioners spoke during the graduation of tailoring students in Yei.
