In Jonglei State, work has come to a standstill at six ministries due to lack of fuel to run generators.

This comes after suppliers stopped supplying the state with fuel over unpaid bills.

The affected ministries are: Information, Education, Agriculture, forestry, Finance, Local government, and physical Infrastructure.

“We use to take fuel from different companies but at the end, we actually failed to pay back,” said Ayom Mach, state ministry of finance.

The amount of money the state owes fuel dealers is not clear.
