Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>South Sudan\u2019s President Salva Kiir Mayardit has warned that insecurity in the states may disrupt conduct of the general elections slated for the end of the transitional period in 2023 which are also provided for in the revitalized peace agreement.<\/p>\n

Kiir and his first deputy Dr. Riek Machar Teny signed a revitalized version of a 2015 peace agreement in September 2018 to end a five-year-old conflict, and that peace deal prides for conduct of general national elections at the end of the transitional period.<\/p>\n

But as the clock ticks towards the end of the 36-months transitional period, several provisions necessary for conduct of elections have not been implemented owing to \u2018lack\u2019 of funds and political will from the former belligerents.<\/p>\n

Speaking during the closing session of the 5th Governors\u2019 Forum in Juba on Monday, Kiir urged the governors to return back to their state and restore laws and order which he said will be needed for a stable country.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs governors and chief administrators, the bulk of your mandate centered on the restoration of law and order within your states and administrative areas,\u201d Kiir said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to emphasize that people need law and order to engage in productive activities and my instruction to governors and chief administrators is please work within lawful means to apprehend those who disrupt peace and harmony within your states and administrative areas,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The South Sudanese president said the country \u201ccannot hold credible elections, which is the end game of the revitalized peace agreement. We will also not be able to repatriate our citizens who are still residing in refugee camps in neighboring countries.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnother critical aspect for the governors and the chief administrators is the role of states and administrative areas in the implementation of the Revitalized Peace Agreement,\u2019 he added.<\/p>\n
