He emphasized the importance of safeguarding the vulnerable groups, including children, who were often at risk due to reckless driving and inadequate road infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are committed to protecting the lives of students, pupils, and the general public by addressing the high rate of accidents in critical areas. Plans are underway to implement measures that will ensure safety in these zones,\u201d said Girisi.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to road safety, Girisi confirmed an increase in traffic-related charges, as directed by the National Traffic Police Headquarters in Juba. The directive, issued by Maj Gen Akot Akot, includes higher fees for items such as logbooks, license plates, and driving licenses.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe received a letter from the National Traffic Police Headquarters dated November 7, 2024, instructing us to implement the new charges effective Monday, November 11, 2024,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>The directive cited the rising cost of operations due to the depreciation of the South Sudanese pound against the dollar, with the exchange rate now exceeding SSP500,000 to the dollar.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese adjustments are necessary to sustain our operations and ensure the delivery of quality services to the public,\u201d Girisi explained.<\/p>\n<p>The director called on the community to comply with the new measures, aimed at ensuring public safety and supporting the state\u2019s efforts to maintain order on the roads.<\/p>\n<p>Girisi reaffirmed his commitment to prioritizing the safety and the well-being of the Western Equatoria residents.<\/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.
