Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>Authorities in the national capital, Juba are taking measures against hotel and factory owners over the pollution of the Nile River.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, the governor of Central Equatoria State, Emmanuel Adil Anthony held a meeting with a fact-finding committee he formed recently to inspect the pollution of the River Nile.<\/p>\n

Africano Mande Batel, the Undersecretary in the national Ministry of Environment and Forestry also attended the meeting.<\/p>\n

The officials discussed measures to hold accountable the polluters to tackle the situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are working as the national government, state government, and the city council to ensure that the people of Juba city and the whole of South Sudan will have safe and clean water for us not to fall sick from consuming water and food,\u201d Batel said.<\/b><\/p>\n

According to Batel, the committee investigated facilities including hotels and factories that are allegedly causing pollution of the Nile River.<\/p>\n

Mr Batel says his ministry concurred with the report and the entities found responsible for the population will on Tuesday be notified to improve their drainage and sewage system to stop the pollution.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll those who are polluting the rivers will be given notices to improve their drainage and sewage systems and to stop all the pollution they are doing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

However, he said the two facilities in question will be taken care of immediately, but without explaining details of the course of action.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are two facilities which I\u2019m not going to mention their names, that will be taken care of immediately because of the pollution that they are causing,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
