Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The speaker of the Central Equatoria state legislative assembly has called for the replacement of the military commander deployed in Kajo-keji County.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Honorable Peter Wani\u2019s call came after revelations that security officers were facilitating illegal logging in Kajo-keji.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the County Commissioner told the state assembly that unnamed security officers were protecting illegal loggers in the area.<\/p>\n

Kenyi Eresto reported that soldiers deployed in the area often provide security for the loggers during harvesting, including facilitating the transportation of the logs out of the County.<\/p>\n

In response, Honorable Peter Wani said,\u201d \u201cThe logging in Kajo-Keji will not stop even if we change the commissioner, the logging in Kajo-Keji will stop if we change the commander in the ground.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/a>\u201cThe logging will change when the commander is changed or when the soldiers are removed from there and then a new command comes in, then the logging will automatically stop.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cThe logging in Kajo-Keji will not stop when our soldiers are even going without salaries. The logging in Kajo-Keji will never stop if our soldiers are not provided with logistics and this is sincere.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eresto suggested that the state governor involve the national government saying \u201ceven if we form a committee to go in the ground to follow the issue and come with the report, we will never stop the logging in kajo-keji\u201d.<\/p>\n

<\/a>He went on to recommend that \u201cthe only thing is that we push as the parliament the governor to come up with a resolution that lets the governor make some efforts with the national government for the commander in the ground to be changed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Economists say illegal logging in South Sudan is persistent in the heavily wooded areas bordering Northern Uganda and DR Congo.<\/p>\n

In October 2020, the state government issued an order, banning logging in all of its six counties in an attempt to stop deforestation and preserve some rare tree species.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Commissioner Kenyi Eresto then ordered the companies actively logging in Kajo-keji to cease their activities with immediate effect.<\/p>\n

But the illegal activities have persisted.<\/p>\n
