The establishment of an appropriate waste collection system will greatly contribute to the public health of Juba city by preventing the spread of diseases,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJapan has been supporting South Sudan since independence by strengthening the capacity of Juba City with a sustainable waste management system and we are happy to support the government and people of South Sudan in achieving this important goal,\u201d Toshio said.<\/p>\n<p>Juba Mayor Johnson Swaka said receiving the vehicles comes with the challenge of maintaining them and pledged to keep the machines running to keep the city clean.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese vehicles are a challenge to the administration of Juba City as well as to the government of Central Equatoria State, because it is not easy to run them. We have to work hard to keep them well maintained and their role in Juba City,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Swaka pledged to keep the trucks running and called on other partners to help rehabilitate and maintain roads to help the door-to-door collection of garbage.<\/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.
