Foundation has been laid and we expect the 16-office building to be ready in 6 months,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Ateny said the 473,000 USD project is funded by locally-generated revenues and that all households within the bounds of the municipality have been asked to voluntarily contribute SSP 2,000 each to the project.<\/p>\n<p>A resident of Bor, Bior Ajang Garang, lauded the initiative.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI heard it over the radio that each house should contribute at least 2000 SSP. I paid because I consider it as part of development,\u201d he said. \u201cHowever, they should not specify the amount since theirs is a request because there are families who can not afford 2000 SSP.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another resident, John Makuei, who also serves as Achengdiir quarter chief, said the project means service delivery.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs residents, we are happy with the new project because it means we will now get better services. In Achengdiir, we raised at least 700,000 SSP from 350 households. The people of Bor are happy with this initiative,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-sudan\">South-Sudan<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Sudan.
