Wum town in darkness for over five months.

By Stephen Ojang. 
This is Wum town at sunrise. The gloomy nature of the picture is an epitome of what the people of this part of the country are going through, after the epileptic power supply and the eventual seizure, for a period of over five months now. But what is happening that lights find it absolutely difficult to return to the restive land of great hospitality? This situation has made many Menchum denizens to wonder aloud whether when God said in Genesis 1:3 " Let there be light", Menchum division and Wum town in particular, were not included. This is because, for a little over five months now, these people have forgotten the existence of electricity as well as its use, and have opted for other sources of electricity. 
Solar gadgets, generators, car batteries and other sources that could provide electricity, are sought by the people, in order to stay connected. 

Documentation services are now focal point for phone charging. 100 frs for "tchoronko", 200 frs for Android phone and 500frs for laptop and tablets. Prices of documentation services and barbing have doubled. There is no doubt therefore that we have returned to the era of dark ages. No one is saying anything on the issue. Yet we are waiting patiently for God to say a word for us to be healed from darkness.

SDO REINSTATE CLEAN UP CAMPAIGNS.

By Stephen Ojang The Senior Divisional Officer for Menchum Division, Abdoullahi Aliou, has reinstated the clean up campaigns in order to salvage the battered image of villages and towns in Menchum Division. This move is contained in a circular addressed to traditional rulers, Ardos, quarter heads, religious leaders, youths and vigilante groups as well as the entire population. The circular that was signed on December 12th 2019, was handwritten, as a result of the more than six months blackout that this division has witnessed. The clean up campaign consists of cleaning premises, villages and communities which have become bushy and dirty, thereby affecting the beautiful environment and the health of the population. The move has been seen as a positive step towards consolidating the peace and harmony that the population are gradually enjoying. This consolidation can only be effective in a clean environment since a healthy body can only live in a healthy environment.
