She made these remarks during the closing session marking the commencement of the three-month recess on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Ador, who also serves as the Deputy Speaker of the state assembly, clarified to Radio Tamazuj that the recess began on December 20 and will conclude on March 20 next year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy message to our community is that we need to have a peaceful Christmas time. Let\u2019s celebrate Christmas in a peaceful manner,\u201d she expressed.<\/p>\n<p>She highlighted that during the preceding three months, the assembly had successfully passed several laws, including the Emoluments Act, Customary Law and Public Order, and the 2023-2024 budget. \u201cToday, we break for recess, working for three months before taking this break, as per our mandate in this august house,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n<p>She explained that during this three-month recess, members are encouraged to return to their constituencies, and women representatives can go back to their respective counties. \u201cAs members of the counties we come from, we will engage in Christmas festivals with our people. It is crucial that during the recess, members gather information from their constituencies. When the assembly reconvenes, they can present this information to address the needs and concerns of their constituents,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a mandate to represent our people and respect their will. During the recess, we go back and interact with the community in our counties,\u201d she emphasized.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have worked on various laws since the revitalized agreement in 2022. If there is a break for recess, members are expected to return to their constituencies. Whether representing constituencies, women\u2019s lists, or party lists, members should use this time to share messages of peace with their people,\u201d she 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.
