Business leaders in Juba are protesting a significant increase in garbage collection fees, with some businesses reportedly facing charges as high as 5 million South Sudanese Pounds. This new fee structure, which has seen some hotels' charges jump from approximately 450,000 Pounds to 5 million, has been implemented without adequate consultation with the business community. Concerns have been raised about the transparency and legal basis for these new charges, as well as the potential economic impact.
The substantial increase in business fees could stifle economic activity and lead to business closures in Juba, exacerbating existing economic challenges.
