Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management Peter Mayen Majongdit has ordered foreign nationals working in the country to obtain work permits within 72 hours.<\/p>\n

The controversial minister made the statement on his official personal Facebook account Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy patient is coming to an end,\u201d he wrote. \u201cTherefore, for every action there is an equal reaction. I personally advice all Kenyan(s) working with UN agencies, international NGOs and national NGOs at all levels e.g Boma, Payam, Counties and national level to seek their work permit and other relevant documents to avoid inconvenience within 72 hours.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mayen also urged other foreign nationals to follow suit before it is too late.<\/p>\n

\u201cOther nationalities I also advise them to do so. It\u2019s a reality in action, and am kindly advising all to comply. Thank you!\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

For years, issues to do with permit issuance by the government have been handled by the Ministry of Labour. It is unclear what compelled Mayen to embark on this action.<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, the Ministry of Petroleum also ordered the Ministry of Labour to assign a potential foreign seeking to work in the oil field to obtain clearance from the petroleum authorities before getting a permit from the government.<\/p>\n

There has also been a growing concern that some expatriates in the country are working without legal documentation such as work permit. This, the government says, is in violation of the Labour Act 2012 as amended.<\/p>\n
