[James Deng Dimo] By James Deng Dimo NYINAKOK, 20 February 2013[Gurtong] - The County commissioner John Arop announced that the leadership of the county is set to hold a fundraising conference at Nyinakok as intellectuals, government officials from Jur River, MPs, UN agencies, traditional chiefs, investment companies in the state, banks and NGOs are all invited to attend the conference that will be presided over by the commissioner. “The initiative of calling for fundraising is mainly to support the developments of the new county side as all people from Jur River are urged to offer any kind of their support,” said the fundraising committee chairperson Majok Majok. “With our concept letter that we have written to all institutions that explains why we need funds, we called upon them to offer any of their relevant support in any form,” he said. He said the area is lacking clean drinking water and the road infrastructure linking the town is poor. They need help in hand pumps and support in clearing the road. After the state government decree to allocate the two counties, Jur River and Wau outside the town, there has been much concern from the county authorities to get creative on how to start development. In a last year state government order to transfer the two Counties headquarters outside the town, youth from Wau County staged a mass violent demonstrations describing new proposed side Bagari as a remote area without facilities. Jur River was the first to endorse the government moves to allocate it headquarter to Nyinakok.
