Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The Governor of Jonglei State, Dr Riek Gai Kok, has ordered for immediate relocation of Bor County headquarters outside the state capital, Bor town.<\/p>\n

In the order issued on Wednesday, Governor Kok said the headquarters will be relocated to Baidit, a locality about 24 kilometers north of the town.<\/p>\n

Kok said the move is aimed at fulfilling the \u2018Moving towns to the people\u201d, policy, a long-sung government slogan of improving access to services and resources in rural areas.<\/p>\n

Bor town doubles as the headquarters of the state and Bor County. Kok, in the order, said the implementation took effect immediately.<\/p>\n

Baidit town is also the headquarters of Baidit Payam, which is one of the Payams of Bor County.<\/p>\n

Bor County, like most parts of the Upper Nile region, is flat and sits 320 metres above sea level. It is about 12,000 km2 in size.<\/p>\n

Baidit witnessed a brutal attack in 2022 when some 32 people were killed and 26 others wounded.<\/p>\n

The killing followed an attack believed to have been carried out by criminals from neighbouring areas.<\/p>\n
