Till recently, people seeking recourse for crimes committed against them at the Rumbek Public Prosecutor\u2019s office, seemed to have entered a grim reality.<\/p>\n

The building was in bad shape. The walls were cracked and the paint was peeling off. Residents who needed legal aid often had cobwebs brushed against their heads.<\/p>\n

This office was built in 2011, and despite its poor appearance, has been a vital part of the lives in communities. It helps to settle complex criminal cases in adverse weather conditions.<\/p>\n

The jampacked rooms were unbearably warm in summer; the thin roof let in a lot of rainwater during the rainy season.<\/p>\n

However, dedicated justice officials worked tirelessly to ensure the law was upheld. They were instrumental in preventing violence from returning even though they were affected by the circumstances.<\/p>\n

All that changed when UN Mission in South Sudan, realizing the importance of this office in the lives community members, renovated the whole building and furnished it.<\/p>\n

The logic behind this intervention is simple, according to the UN Peacekeeping mission\u2019s John Oziegbe, team leader of the Human Rights Division in Rumbek.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the State Prosecutor\u2019s office continues to have a huge backlog of cases because it lacks a proper structure that provides prosecutors with the needed space and facilities to do their job, it results in delays in the justice process,\u201d he explains. \u201cThe associated ripple effect\u2014increase in armed attacks; cattle raids, theft, and violence against women. All these lead to insecurity and threats to civilian life,\u201d he adds. \u201cTherefore, this small-scale assistance by UNMISS feeds into the larger goal of sustained peace in Lakes and across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Peter Maliab Chieny (Mayor of Rumbek Town) received a bonus. \u201cPreviously, many people wouldn\u2019t report crimes because the structure and appearance of the Public Prosecuter\u2019s Office didn\u2019t inspire trust. This is all changed by the new building. Everything is light and airy; it emboldens us to have more faith in the legal system, and ultimately, will contribute to upholding law and order for all,\u201d he said eloquently.<\/p>\n

The renovation was actioned under the mission\u2019s Quick Impact Projects (QIPs) programme, which focuses on small-scale, low-budget infrastructural upgrades that address urgent public needs and build confidence.<\/p>\n
