Gen. Amb. Charles Tai Gituai, R-JMEC Interim Chairperson, said it has been five years since the signing of the 2018 peace deal, but the parties remained slow in its implementation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe lack of sufficient progress and clarity on elections-preparedness, constitution-making, or unification of forces, each of which is a critical pre-condition for smooth and successful elections, is creating uncertainty,\u201d said Gituai.<\/p>\n<p>Gituai said called on the parties to the conflict to fast-track the implementation process of the deal and give clarifications to the people of South Sudan on the conduct of the long-awaited elections.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of work still remains to be done to complete the critical pending tasks necessary to effect South Sudan\u2019s democratic transition,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is imperative for the Revitalized Transitional Government of National Unity (R-TGoNU) to provide to the people of South Sudan clarity on election preparedness,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Gituai emphasized the need to conduct civic education, fast-track the permanent constitution-making process, and promote political and civic space to allow citizens to exercise their democratic rights.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is incumbent on the country\u2019s leadership to consolidate the peace dividends to all its diverse communities through a democratic transition,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He described the recent passing of the National Elections Act 2012 (Amendment) Bill 2023 by the transitional parliament as an important step in realizing the democratic aspirations of the people of South Sudan.<\/p>\n<p>The peace monitoring chief further called for the completion of the unification and redeployment of forces and further urged the RTGoNU to provide adequate resources to the security mechanisms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTherefore, expectations are that the Parties will adhere to the Agreement, increase the pace of implementation, and demonstrate tangible progress in the completion of the critical pending tasks,\u201d he said.<\/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.
