United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) Built a New Kabo Police Station in Juba

United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) constructed a new Kabo Police Station in Juba for the South Sudan National Police (SSNP). Funding for the police station was provided by the Quick Impact Project in the Luri County, Central Equatoria.

UNMISS Police Commissioner Unaisi Lutu Vuniwaqa, along with the Head of the Juba Field Office, Ms. Geetha Pious, participated in an opening ceremony to hand over the keys of the newly constructed police station to SSNP. The SSNP Deputy Inspector General of Police, Juba State Deputy Police Commissioner, UNMISS partners, a Luri community representative, the project implementing partner “Save A Life”, SSNP and UNPOL officers also attended this ceremony.

Commissioner Vuniwaqa expressed that this station serves as a bridge between local citizens and SSNP to enhance community policing initiatives. She encouraged SSNP to create an environment in the station where people are able to feel confident to report crimes as well as share information.

The SSNP Deputy Inspector General, Lt. General James Pui Yak Yiel, also expressed gratitude for the continuous support from UNMISS and promised to fight crimes and bring sustainable security and safety for this area. The Kabo Police Station has seven SSNPS officers and a Commander who immediately took charge of their respective responsibilities.

Apart from Kabo Police Station, there are two more quick impact projects for SSNP, funded by the Mission, that are still under construction in Juba.
