The Toposa community in Eastern Equatoria State has opposed the proposed resumption of the Nadapal to Nakodok road construction project, a development announced by Kenyan President William Ruto during his recent visit to Juba.
The leaders of the Toposa community have voiced concerns that the project is a strategic attempt to annex South Sudanese territory into Kenya.
The reaction by the Toposa Community highlights the sensitive nature of border infrastructure projects in the region, where historical and geopolitical tensions often fuel apprehensions about territorial integrity and sovereignty.
However the Kenyans Government claims that they are seeking to Annex the Toposa Community. Kenya's government, however, argues that the project aims to improve regional trade and connectivity.
The Nadapal-Nakodok road is funded by the World Bank and the project is led by Eng. James Theuri and Lead Team Susan Owuor and Representative from the Kenya Highway Authority 'KeNHA', Kenya Revenue Authority 'KRA', Consultants and Contractors implementing the project.
The road is seen as a potential economic artery, linking the two countries and providing easier access for trade, transport, and movement of goods and people.
