February 12, 2010 (JUBA) – Lt. Gen. Abel Makoi Wol, Director General of Southern Sudan (GOSS) Police Service, says the prisons department has launched agricultural projects aimed at boosting food security in Southern Sudan. The prison department’s effort will be supported by at least three GOSS ministries.
Lt. Gen. Makoi said the agricultural projects will be implemented by the Ministry of Internal Affairs together with GOSS Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation and the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry.
The Police Director was speaking after visiting an agricultural site in Warnya Boma in Terekeka County together with the Minister of Internal Affairs Maj. Gen. Gier Chuang Aluong on Thursday.
Minister Aluong said, “I will support these projects so that our people can have enough food through these projects. From next week, we will bring tractors and other agricultural implements and start work immediately.”
The Internal Affairs Minister and Police Director General are presumably close, since Makoi was appointed by Salva Kiir at the recommendation of Aluong on December 3 last year.
Maj. Gen. Gier also called on the citizens to stop fighting among themselves and instead to embark on farming and other development projects that will promote development instead of destruction.
The Minister also donated 500 bags of maize to the residents as well as construction materials to be used for building one classroom for school children in the area. Maj. Gen. Gier also donated a TV set and satellite dish to residents of Warnya Boma.
Chief Santino Lomuro of Warnya Boma appreciated the visit of the Minister and urged other leaders to do the same, according to the Internal Affairs Ministry’s press release.
“I am happy that Gier Chuang has visited us today in our Boma. None of our leaders has visited us in a very long time and for Gier Chuang to visit us today is commendable. These are the leaders that Southern Sudan need because they care about the interests of the people they represents and not their own political interests,” Chief Lomuro stressed.

People fight because of inadequate food,and those who frequently fight are the one with scarcity of food. Some communities can not survive in South unless they will be feed with enough food because they have no means and tactics to make their own food and these are those communities of looters/raidings who steal others properties. I hope agriculural method will help those hopless parasites across the South not only that particular area.
Thanks

Anathroposophical training will be crucial for the entire vertical thinkers who decline to view the other side of the coin.Thumb-up to the leaders for the milestone and for that matter, sky will never fall to develop southern Sudan.

This is a good idea from police and prisons inspectors, we do not want prisoners just sleeping in prison for nothing after comitting serious crimes, they have to do some work as service for the country as part of their time in prison, we do not want lazy criminals in this country.
They should be expected to participate fully in agriculture, infrastructure constructions and other services work, those who performed well can then be pardoned a few years before their term in prison finish, this will also warn other criminals to stay away from crime or be ready to spend their time in prison rebuilding the country.
It is time for every body to start to contribute and work accordingly in Sudan.
