Upper Nile COM passes 743 million pound 2014/5 budget
The Council of Ministers in Upper Nile State has passed a budget of nearly 743 million pounds for the financial year 2014-2015.
The Minister of Information, Peter Hoth Twaj, says the approval of the budget proposal disapproves claims that his government officials are staying in Juba due to insecurity in the state.
“So I want to assure the public especially our state that the government of Upper Nile is here including the governor in Malakal. There is no body in Juba at the moment,” said Mr Twaj.
The draft budget passed by the state’s Council of Ministers is 742,907,638 South Sudanese Pounds.
