The army says it has overcome the issue of food shortages as food items continue arriving daily at Bilpam military warehouses through companies contracted to supply the military. Receiving a food consignment from Amuk Trading and Investment Company, the Undersecretary in the Ministry of Defence and Veterans Affairs, Gregory Deng Kuac, says the ministry remains committed to improving the welfare of servicemen in order to safeguard the country’s territorial integrity.
The area around the army headquarters in Bilpam has witnessed the arrival of 39 out of 100 trucks carrying a variety of food items destined for military food stores as part of the Ministry of Defence’s feeding programme.

The consignment, comprising maize flour, beans, cooking oil, and other essential food supplies, is being delivered by Amuk Trading and Investment Company, which was contracted to supply the military, signalling renewed efforts towards sustainable food provision for the army.
Representing Amuk Trading and Investment Company, Yai Nuer explains the phased delivery process of the food items in line with the contract awarded by the Ministry of Defence and Veterans Affairs.
