However, we are astounded by the proposition that their suggested roadmap will be presented to the Presidency for consideration.\u201d The statement said. \u201cMatters related to the Revitalized Agreement concern the Parties to it, not any institution of the R-TGoNU such as the Presidency, the Council of Ministers, or any other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is only after the Parties have reached consensus as required by the Revitalized Agreement would such consensus position be presented to R-TGoNU for adoption,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n<p>According to NDM, the right procedure should have been for SPLM-IG to present its proposed roadmap to the parties either directly or through RJMEC so as to be discussed together with other proposals from the other parties in order to agree on a common position.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen and only then can such an agreed common position be considered as owned by the Parties,\u201d the statement said. \u201cIt is common knowledge that the Presidency doesn\u2019t have a member from the OPP. Who will represent them even if it were to be agreed, for argument\u2019s sake, that the Presidency can represent the Parties?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Friday 15 July, President Kiir met the 4-man delegation, all members of the SPLM, who came up with the roadmap. They included Security Advisor Tut Gatluak, Cabinet Affairs Minister Martin Elia Lomuro, Foreign Minister Mayiik Ayii Deng, and Information Minister Micheal Makuei.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the Revitalized Agreement were implemented in good faith, there would have been no need for a roadmap at this stage for the agreement itself provides such a roadmap in its implementation matrix,\u201d NDM\u2019s statement said. \u201cThe fact that we are discussing a roadmap at this late hour in the life of the agreement suggests that things did not go well as envisaged when it was signed four years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to NDM, restoring the dented trust among the parties is of paramount importance as the end of the Transitional Period approaches.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis can only happen by being sincere, truthful, and accommodative of differing views. The SPLM-IG should follow the right procedure to build consensus,\u201d the statement urged. \u201cWe also invite the other Parties to the agreement to develop their own roadmaps to make the discussion easier.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur people have suffered a great deal and it is about time that their leaders put their welfare above partisan or individual interests,\u201d it concluded.<\/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.
