The commissioner of Kajo Keji County, Jackson Wani Mule, has raised concerns about the dire health and education services in the area.

“In Kajo Keji now most of our schools are closed, country facilities are closed too with this new assignment, I will do all that I can to make sure that all the 115 primary schools and 17 secondary schools of education are reopened,” said Wani, while speaking at his swearing-in ceremony in Juba on Monday.

He continued that he will ensure that the 45 non-functional healthy facilities are reopened and serve the people.

The commissioner outlined the provision of peace, security, and unity of the people as the top priority of his agenda once he goes to Kajo Keji.

Wan also expressed commitment to addressing the perennial issues of armed cattle keepers and border encroachment

“It is not the first time I have been appointed as Kajo Keji commissioner. In 2018-2020, I was a commissioner of Liwolo, and that was the most difficult situation when fighting was all over compared to today.”

“If we can succeed at that time in bringing peace and controlling the insecurity, then this insecurity of today is a walkover for me,” Wani asserted.

Meanwhile, the commissioner of Terekeka County, Emmanuel Ladu Laku, appreciated Governor Agustino Jadalla for his confidence in their leadership.

He acknowledged that the people’s trust in government has been challenged in recent years and promised to restore the trust.

The swearing-in of these two new administrators marked the beginning of a new era of governance in their respective areas, as the country is facing serious security threats.

Yet for Laku, the time for hailing has come for the communities, promising to collaborate with all stakeholders, including the political leaders, traditional chiefs, elders, women, youth, and faith-based communities, to foster peace, stability, and development in Terekeka.

The officials pledged to uphold the highest standards for public integrity and ethical leadership.
