It is worth mentioning here that, the two (2) directorates \u2013 procurement and production \u2013 are under the Ministry of Defense and Veterans Affairs.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMost notably, the aforementioned positions and the rest of the directorates in all organized forces were agreed upon according to article 9 of the matrix signed on April 3, that it would be discussed and agreed on by a joint committee of the parties, and the presence of a mediator if need be, to allocate all these positions within a maximum period of two (2) weeks from the formation of the unified command.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the National Police Service structure, President Salva Kiir had omitted three (3) directorates namely; auxiliary forces, custom, and public relations and created five (5) new directorates contrary to the agreed-upon structures, namely; Assistant IGP for Investment, Assistant IGP and Commissioner for Central Equatoria, Assistant IGP for Human Resource Development, Assistant IGP for Oil Field, and Assistant IGP for Inspectorate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe president created new positions of deputy director-generals for administration and finance in the internal and external security bureau which was not agreed upon by the parties, and appointed his allies to these positions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhereas, according to the April 3 agreement, the structures of the two branches of the (NSS) will be a director-general for both internal and external security (ITGONU), and a deputy (Opposition) plus the directorates.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis attempt by the President is to move and separate the opposition particularly the SPLM\/A (IO) from the finance and administration within these directorates, and that will make it harder for us to implement the reforms needed, especially in the finance sector within all the organized forces. Also it will cripple the work of these deputy director generals and the directorates allocated to the SPLM\/A (IO).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFinally, we urge President Salva Kiir to conform to the agreed structure of the SSPDF, National Police and the National Security Service.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-sudan\">South-Sudan<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Sudan.
