The national committee judges and justices say they have gone on strike over pay and administrative issues.
The Chairman of the committee, Khalid Mohammed, says they have not been paid salaries for three months and allowances for four years.
Justice Khalid says they are working in unfavorable conditions, with poor infrastructure and lack of enough facilities, including stationeries.
He told Eye Radio that they also lack means of transportation for the staff and for those being brought from prisons for court cases.
The demands are part of a statement the judges issued on Thursday, in which they asked the government to quickly resolve the issues before a strike today.
Justice Khalid says they have started the strike and will continue until the issues are resolved.
“This strike will continue until our urgent demands are fulfilled. Our urgent demands are connected to our areas of arears and transportation of judges from home to the court and back,” Justice Khalid stated.
There are about 213 judges around Greater Bahr el Ghazal and Greater Equatoria and Renk and Bor counties.
“This is the number and locations of judges and justices who are on strike,” he said in an interview on Friday.
