Africa-Press – South-Sudan. South Sudan’s President Salva Kiir Mayardit has on Wednesday night issues several republican decrees reconstituting legislative assembly in at least four states of the country’s remaining six states.
This comes nearly two weeks after the South Sudanese head of state reconstituted transitional legislative assemblies in Western Equatoria, Central Equatoria, Lakes and Upper Nile states.
In today’s decree read out on the state-owned South Sudan Broadcasting Corporation (SSBC), the South Sudanese president formed state parliaments for Northern Bahr el Ghazal, Warrap, Eastern Equatoria, and Jonglei state.
He appointed at least 100 politicians representing various political parties in each state based on an arrangement provided for in the revitalized peace agreement he signed in September 2018 with several opposition groups.
This brings the states with reconstituted parliaments to eight. Only two of the country’s ten states, Unity and Western Bahr el Ghazal, remains without an assemblies but the president is said to be reconstituting the assemblies for those states tomorrow.
