Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>A member lawmaker has appealed to the newly-appointed minister of interior Angelina Teny to reduce the number of traffic police on the streets of the capital Juba and to stop soldiers from asking for lock book.<\/p>\n

Jenty Poni Bullen, member of parliament of South Sudan\u2019s transitional parliament on the ticket of Democratic Change (DC) party, was speaking during a parliamentary sitting at the Freedom Hall in Juba on Monday.<\/p>\n

\u201cMadam Angelina you are the one in the interior (ministry) position and I don\u2019t want to see soldiers within the town or asking about lock book,\u201d she said in the sitting attended by Mrs. Teny.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease reduce traffic police within Juba city,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

The traffic police in Juba are responsible for enforcing traffic laws and ensuring the safety of road users. However, they have been accused of corruption and abuse of authority.<\/p>\n

For example, there have been reports of traffic police demanding bribes from drivers, even when they have not committed any traffic violations.<\/p>\n

In some cases, traffic police have also been accused of assaulting drivers.<\/p>\n

The public outcry over traffic police abuse has been growing in recent months. In September 2023, a video went viral on social media showing a traffic police officer assaulting a driver in Juba.<\/p>\n

The video sparked widespread outrage, and many people called for the traffic police officer to be held accountable.<\/p>\n
