He reminded the newly elected officials to ensure that there is peace and stability in the region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou cannot secure the economic needs of the people without security, so that is very important, once you have done that you will fill the stomachs of the people, because they don\u2019t want to stay in a place where there is no water, education and roads,\u201d he emphasised<\/p>\n<p>In his acceptance speech and on behalf of the other interim SPLM governors and deputies, Stefano Wieu reaffirmed his commitment to the principles of justice, equality, and prosperity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur sole objective will be to ensure that we provide services to our people. Make our people happy, ensure that they realize our principles of equality, justice, and prosperity,\u201d said Stefano.<\/p>\n<p>He reiterated that the three new officials will stick to ensuring that the SPLM party is elevated and vibrant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday we have taken oath affirming our commitment to the mission, values, and the integrity of the party. Our late founding father John Garang said, there is no meaning of revolution unless it makes our people happy,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Santino Malek Ani, Deputy Secretary for Political Affairs at the SPLM National secretariat, said the incoming governors have been advised to unite the people and prepare them for elections.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey have advised them to unite the people of their respective areas and work for the election. They have to mobilize the people, they have to work to recruit and they have to maintain and implement the peace agreement in letter and spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>President Salva Kiir, who is also the Chairman of the SPLM party, issued an order appointing state deputy governors and one chief administrative area as interim chairpersons of the SPLM party in their respective states.<\/p>\n<p>Article 39 of the Sudan People\u2019s Liberation Movement constitution, as amended in 2016, specifies the duties and functions of interim chairpersons. The interim chairpersons will organise the parties\u2019 structures in the states in coordination with the SPLM national security.<\/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.
