Parliament must also ratify the political parties act of 2012 and the security bills that were returned back to the house for further deliberation as the deadlocked is being resolved by the presidency,\u201d Majokdit said in the statement.<\/p>\n<p>The senior opposition official said the parties must also be pressured to conduct the \u201cresponsibility sharing of the independent commissions, national authorities and other institutions at the national level, which must be done on time including the formation of the administrative areas governments for the political parties to complete the governance structure per the peace agreement,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The senior SPLM-IO official further welcomed the decision by the Reconstituted Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission (R-JMEC) to endorse the extension of the transitional period by the parties for another two years to allow for implementation of the pending tasks and stressed that if the parties show political will, there would be something different in the agreement\u2019s slow implementation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI applaud the R-JEMC position for its support to the roadmap on the implementation of the peace agreement for the next 24th months extended by the parties. I think it\u2019s time to demonstrate the political will and allow the parties to sell their ideologies to the public instead of the political illusion,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose who are obstacles to peace will be blamed by the international community if the parties failed again to implement the roadmap in letter and spirit,\u201d he added.<\/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.
