Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>A South Sudanese activist has raised an alarm over poor working conditions at the Nimule Immigration Department\u2019s offices.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Radio Tamazuj over the weekend, Edmond Yakani, Executive Director of the Community Empowerment for Progress Organization (CEPO) said the sorry state of affairs at the immigration office hurts South Sudan\u2019s image.<\/p>\n

Yakani described the working condition in Nimule as \u201ctotally stressful\u201d adding that officers are a demoralized lot. \u201cConditions of the office buildings, computers, cleanliness of the office, information and records system are generally below the required standards,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The activist blamed the political leadership, the Directorate of Immigration in the National Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Finance Planning and others for the sorry state of affairs at the immigration offices.<\/p>\n

He said individuals concerned, have deliberately ignored the significant role of the immigration offices by failing to ensure working conditions meet required standards of operations.<\/p>\n

Yakani said the officers at the Nimule Immigration offices were committed to their work but were derailed by the \u201cstressful and poor conditions.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe revenue generated from Nimule border is enough to fix the mess and improve the working conditions for officers. It is disturbing to see our Nimule border post immigration office building not projecting the good image for the country,\u201d said Yakani.<\/p>\n

He added that an immigration office at any country\u2019s border entry point portrays the image of the country because they are the first stop shops.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe conditions of the immigration office building, working materials\/equipment and human resources conditions require immediate attention and intervention from the leadership in Juba,\u201d Yakani stated.<\/p>\n

He appealed to President Salva Kiir to urgently intervene in the situation at the Nimule Immigration offices.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Minister for Interior, Police Inspector General (IGP) and Director of Immigration should all urgently visit and see for themselves the working conditions of the immigration officers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The activist also asked members of the national parliament who are currently on recess to visit Nimule immigration office as a priority to understand the conditions at the border post.<\/p>\n
