JUBA, SOUTH SUDAN — August 31, 2026 — A commended leadership is one that listens, acts, and
restores order for its citizens. The concerned citizens and daily commuters of Juba City hereby express their
profound appreciation and highest commendation to the leadership of Central Equatoria State, headed by
His Excellency Governor Emmanuel Adil Anthony, alongside his deputy, the City Mayor of Juba, and the
entire state administration, for their prompt, decisive, and highly responsive action regarding the Custom-
Jebel dual carriage road clearance.
A DIRECT RESPONSE TO CITIZEN FEEDBACK
When concerns regarding severe road encroachments were raised through public channels—most notably
highlighted in the investigative piece published by www.plustwooneone.com titled “Encroachment on the Custom-Jebel
Dual Carriage: A Call for Urgent Government Action”—the public hoped for effective government intervention.
Today, the leadership of Central Equatoria State has decisively delivered on that expectation, proving that citizen
voices directly inform executive priorities.
LEADERSHIP IN ACTION: ON-THE-GROUND EXECUTION
The personal site inspection conducted by H.E. Governor Emmanuel Adil Anthony on August 31, 2026, alongside
the Worshipful Mayor of Juba City Council, demonstrates a governance model deeply rooted in accountability and
tangible results. By personally overseeing the clearance of illegal encroachments, makeshift stalls, and public
safety obstructions from the road reserves stretching from the Custom roundabout toward Rock City, executive
leadership has sent an unmistakable message: infrastructure integrity, public safety, and sound urban planning
remain top state priorities.
Furthermore, extending this executive directive to the Honorable Commissioner of Juba County to execute parallel
clearance operations at Kubri Habuba and Mia Saba Munuki Road reflects a holistic, strategic administrative vision aimed at eliminating road
reserve encroachments across the entire municipality, rather than relying on fragmented measures.
KEY IMPACTS OF GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION
“True leadership is demonstrated not by the absence of urban challenges, but by the willingness of leadership to
listen to the grievances of its residents and act decisively for the greater good. Governor Emmanuel Adil Anthony
and his administration have set a commendable precedent for responsive governance in South Sudan.”
A SUSTAINABLE VISION FOR THE CAPITAL
We extend our compliments to the entire state administration, law enforcement bodies, and the technical teams of
the Juba City Council working tirelessly on the ground. To sustain this positive momentum, we encourage
executive leadership to establish permanent monitoring and enforcement mechanisms, while simultaneously
designating safe, off-road market zones where local traders can thrive without encroaching on vital public
infrastructure.
Presented with highest esteem,
