Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>By Yiep Joseph<\/b><\/p>\n

Motorcycle riders are also known as Boda Boda riders in Yei River County Central Equatoria State complained of the continuous increase in the price of fuel.<\/p>\n

Last year it was reported that petrol stations owners kept their businesses closed as a sign of protest after they were ordered by the county commissioner to reduce from fuel prices from 650 to 450 per liter<\/p>\n

Amos Sabani John of the motorcycle riders said that the increase of fuel posed a big threat to their business and survival as customers contently complained.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are ready to work under this hot sun heat but is threatening us is the continues increment of fuel prices, last two weeks one litter was at 450 SSP but now it is 650 SSP,\u201d Amos said<\/p>\n

\u201cThe fuel price is very high and when we need to increase the transport our customers would complain and resort to footing making us to stay without work and our life becomes hard\u201d he added<\/p>\n

He called on the good to intervene and provide fuel through the National Petroleum company the Nile Pet in order to reduce the rampant increment of prices that remain a threat to them.<\/p>\n

He expressed that this inflation in regards to fuel has raised conflict between Boda Boda Riders and their clients. \u201cWe are in conflict with our customers when even we tell them to increase in fuel price, they thought we are lying and always we quarrel and these is the conflict we are in\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt least government should help us because we are parents, we have children who wanted to go to school, they need to be treated when sick like rest of the families\u201d he added<\/p>\n

He added that the few petrol station in the area detach prices due to monopoly. \u201cWe have few privately owned petrol station in the area who can just wake up in the morning and decide any fuel prices they wanted to charge\u201d He called on the government to take part in fuel business in the county in order to give good and fair prices.<\/p>\n

However, in his response Luwate Justice Raphael the chairperson for chamber of Commerce in Yei River county said that issue of increase of fuel price remained a challenge not only to motorcycle riders but to all businesses in the town.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is true fuel has gone High previously in Yei, a litter of fuel was at 450 SSP but is almost a month now or two weeks it increased to 650 SSP which is really affecting most of the businesses in the area\u201d Luwate said.<\/p>\n

He added that the fuel issue has been a regional problem not only in South Sudan but also in other countries. Luwated said that the county administration would try by all means to make sure that some of the challenges facing business people in the area be solved.<\/p>\n

He also revealed that although security is improving in the area, people remain in fear He called on the people in Yei to cooperate with government in restoring total peace to the area.<\/p>\n
