Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The authorities in South Sudan’s Warrap State on Monday flagged off trucks loaded with sorghum to be distributed and sold to citizens in six counties at subsidized prices.<\/p>\n

Warrap state is one of ten states that has been severely affected by hunger as a result of heavy rains and resultant flooding since last year.<\/p>\n

A malwa (3.7 kilograms) of sorghum currently costs SSP 2,700 in Kuajok town and 3,000 in the counties according to an official.<\/p>\n

The national finance ministry purchased 46,560 (90 kg) sacks of sorghum from Sudan to help alleviate hunger in Warrap State.<\/p>\n

Amiir Amet, the Warrap State acting governor lauded President Salva Kiir for buying the sorghum from Sudan and announced that the malwa will be sold at SSP 1000.<\/p>\n

\u201cI appreciate President Kiir for observing that Warrap needs food we thank him for purchasing food from Sudanese traders through the Sudanese government,\u201d she said. \u201cWe are launching the distribution and transportation of food to different counties and payams of Warrap State and upon the delivery, the committee will start selling at affordable prices at designated points across the state.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe price will be the same all over the state,\u201d Amet added.<\/p>\n

She said a committee will monitor the transportation, distribution, and sale of the sorghum to the payams and counties to avoid theft and other malpractices.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery payam will get 500 bags and a bag will retail for SSP 30,000 instead of the current market rate of 66,000,\u201d she said. \u201cThe transit of sorghum to the counties is under the management of the technical committee which is monitoring too to ensure that loaded trucks reach their destinations.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Maluach Lueth, the commissioner of Gogrial East County, confirmed the distribution but said the allocation to his county was too little.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy county’s share is 3, 600 sacks of Sorghum and that is not enough because the level of vulnerability here is very high compared to the amount of food distributed but it is better than nothing,\u201d he said. \u201cIt will be shared among the people in the county and when it gets finished, we will request our government to supply more food. I thank our national and state governments for supplying food to our people.\u201d<\/p>\n
