The process of demarcating the border between South Sudan and Uganda has been delayed due to lack of funds, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has said.

It also said there was limited time to enable the two countries complete the sensitization exercise amongst the border communities.

Last year, South Sudan and Uganda formed an 18-member Joint Border Committee to start the demarcation in order to resolve cross-border disputes.

He told Eye Radio the process had been scheduled to commence by April this year.

“The second stage was supposed to kick off sometime in April, but due to technical problems in terms of communication with our colleagues in Uganda, we were unable to meet that deadline,” said Ambassador William Wani, member of the Joint Border Committee.
