Jonglei State Governor Hon. Chagor cancelled the eviction by former Bor-Town Mayor of business women in the main market in Bor.


Bor Municipality and Business Women Group in bortown had undergone serious arguments and it led to tensions between the two teams, this led to the dismissal of Jonglei State Lands Minister by Deputy Governor Akech Dengdit. 


Problems in Bor Municipality started between women selling vegetables after former Mayor moved the women group to a new site to sell their vegetables, that decision was rejected by the women group selling vegetables. 


 Mahmoud Chuol, Director General at the Ministry Of Education while speaking to the media said that, "On Monday, the governor issued several decrees including the sacking of the Bor mayor and reinstatement of the lands minister" Mahmoud Chuol said. 


“The state governor also issued a decree banning any sell of lands within Bor town and that anyone awarded land by former mayor must reclaim their monies.” Mahmoud Chuol said. 


Representative of the "disgruntled women group" said that, they are happy that finally justice has been served. 


“As women, we are happy. The governor gave us back the land, and he said that he needs four days to remove the materials brought by the investor who grabbed our land and also to fill the holes dug during the construction works,” she said.


The women representative further said that: “Since our eviction and subsequent demolition of our structures, more than 400 women were affected. We just sell in the open by the roadside. Although we now reclaimed the ownership, the place is demolished,” she said.


“It was constructed for us by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). We call on well-wishers to help us because we have not been making profits since our eviction. Our children are out of school,” she added.
