The National Transitional Committee has been evicted from its offices after they failed to pay the rental fees, a senior member of the committee has revealed.

“The NTC itself with all security mechanisms has been evicted from its premise at South Sudan hot due to lack of payment because the NTC has not received any funding,” Phar said during the RJMEC Plenary Meeting on Thursday.

“We failed to pay the rent for our offices based inside South Sudan Hotel so, we have actually been evicted. We have received the eviction note.”

However, the minister did not mention when the offices would be vacated by the committee.

NTC has not been also able to pay incentives and operating costs for security mechanism members for more than 3 years.
