As Loka Secondary School in Lainya County requires rehabilitation, former Commissioner appeals to “people of goodwill” to support his successor’s efforts.
Taking to his social media, Emmanuel Khemis implored the people of Lainya County and South Sudanese at large to contribute the needed resources for the revival of the learning institution.
“Today [Wednesday], I want to appeal to South Sudanese of goodwill, the people of Central Equatoria State [CES] and the people of Lainya County to generously contribute needed resources to support the efforts of our Hon.
Commissioner, Robert John Moris as he steps up efforts to rehabilitate and reopen Loka Secondary School to offer secondary education to our generations,” Khemis’ post reads.
The outgone Lainya County Commissioner, emphasizes on the spirit of togetherness and collaborations in driving development and service delivery in the county.
Despite the economic situation, Khemis said, “we can squeeze something small from our daily meals and donate to the office of the Commissioner, so that during the dry season, renovation starts.”
He also called on both the national and state governments to support the rehabilitation process and reopening of the school to boost learning in the area.
Last September, the incumbent Commissioner, Robert John paid a visit and initiated the rehabilitation of the iconic Loka Secondary School.
During his visit, discussions were centred on the urgent need to rehabilitate the school and restore it to normalcy.
The commissioner also recognized the school’s historical importance and vital role it played in shaping the nation’s leaders.
John emphasized the critical importance of investing in education and infrastructure to secure a better future for the youth of Lainya County and beyond.
Established in the Sudan era, Loka Secondary School, once a beacon of hope, fell wreckage to the unfortunate 2013 civil war, resulting in structural damages.
