Dr. Marial said the Council of Ministers agreed that, the government should issue a tender for private investors to establish appropriate technology to utilize the waste in order to generate electricity for the residents of Juba. The minister said that the electric power house in Juba currently produces 10 megawatts of electricity and that was low compared to the high demand of Juba residents In another related development Dr. Marial, who is also the GOSS Spokesperson, said that the council has allocated seven million Sudanese pounds for a pension fund.
