Juba City Faces Water Crisis Due to Tanker Protests
Juba City is currently grappling with a severe water crisis as water tanker owners protest the City Council’s decision to slash prices from SSP6,000 to SSP2,500. The residents of Juba are bearing the brunt of this shortage, as alternative water supplies are becoming increasingly expensive.
The tanker owners have raised concerns over the high fuel prices, which are cutting into their profits and making it difficult for them to operate efficiently. This has led to a threat of a possible strike if their demands are not met.
Local residents, such as Mariam Morris, are concerned about the impact of these protests on the availability and affordability of water in the city. They are calling on the government to intervene and address the underlying issues causing this crisis.
It is crucial for the Juba authorities to engage in dialogue with the tanker owners to find a solution that benefits both parties and ensures a steady supply of affordable water to the residents.
