A chief in Mundri East County of Western Equatoria State has publicly accused the authorities of Mundri East County for not doing enough in order to restore back the hope of development in the County.

“Let the authorities not deceive us in the Payam let them tell the truth if there is no county here we need to know about it, we people of Mundri East have daily revenue collection and where is the money going why is the revenue not used for the development of our County

However Chief Levis Kiropa added that they are going to give 10KM of land to Mundri East County Commissioner Margret Fozia to carryout necessary developments in the county.
While, in her response, Commissioner Margret Fozia Emmanuel says the downfall of the county’s failure to deliver basic services was because the chiefs are not given reports as required. However, Commissioner Margret Fozia calls on the traditional leaders in the county to cooperate with the county authorities so that the area can realize its development.” If Chiefs are not working I will not work also,” Margaret Fozia said.
