“I wish to assure you Mr. President that we the women will not let you down, we will fully join you with the rest of our male colleagues in your
effort to continue playing a strong role in providing a responsible and a visionary leadership that our country is so much in need of at this critical period in
our history,” she said She said that women would cease to be women neither shall we cease to be mothers adding that what they would do is to bring top
layer of government, the positive attributes of the female gender without which society remained in complete less harmonious and less progressive. She said that having suppressed far too long, the
women thrived to reinforce liberty and freedom across the country, “we will work with the President to promote genuine freedom and liberty for all in our
country,” she stressed. Nunu said that women had been seen selling charcoal, making tea and selling bread (legmat), it’s with this spirit of resilience and
industriousness, that the South Sudan women are joining the top age lane of our government. “Motherhood advocate for peaceful coexistence in the community and we cherish life, we do not want our lovely kids to leave in perpetual insecure environment and die miserable death, unfortunately, we women had tested warsand its associated atrocities,” she stated.
