Commissioner of Pochalla North of South Sudan’s Boma State Ogebe Omot has raised concerns over the absence of telecommunication network in his hard to reach county.
Located in the eastern part of South Sudan near the border with Ethiopia, Pochalla area is only accessed by air.
The official is urging telecommunication companies to provide network coverage in Pochalla area of Boma State. Currently there are no telecommunication networks in the whole area of Pochalla making communication difficult.
The top official narrated that recently he was in contact with telecommunication companies to install the networks there. However, the commissioner said that the recent conflict in the country is negatively affecting the process.
“Yes, I want them to come to the county and deliver services to the people,” Ogebe said.
