Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The South Sudan Advocates Alliance, which has fielded candidates to vie for positions in the Bar Association elections, on Wednesday launched its manifesto after adopting it into its constitution.<\/p>\n

Arop Kuol, the Alliance\u2019s presidential candidate for the Bar Association, said the manifesto focuses on qualifications and legal training because most lawyers suffer from language problems.<\/p>\n

Speaking during the launch of the Alliance\u2019s manifesto, Kuol said most lawyers are from Arabic language backgrounds, hence the need to teach them English language.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the coalition wins the presidency of the Bar Association, the union will provide postgraduate study opportunities for lawyers to obtain doctorates, masters, and other practical certificates,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

The launch was attended by Ateny Wek Ateny, the former Press Secretary in the Office of the President, Sheikh Juma Saeed, a representative of Muslims in South Sudan, and representatives from the Faculty of Law at the University of Juba and judiciary among other stakeholders.<\/p>\n

According to Kuol, the Alliance has a mandate to protect lawyers while on duty and he called for peaceful elections.<\/p>\n

On his part, Emmanuel Abraham Kandi, a candidate vying for the position of deputy president of the Bar Association, indicated that the Alliance plans to establish permanent headquarters if his coalition wins the upcoming polls.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Stephen Martin Nishar, who is the Alliance\u2019s candidate for secretary-general of the Bar Association, said if elected, they will push for higher perks for members to improve their living standards, including the provision of health insurance.<\/p>\n

Ateny Wek Ateny, described lawyers as \u201cbright minds,\u201d noting that lawyers are the country\u2019s eyes.<\/p>\n

\u201cLawyers are the ones who solve the country’s problems and correct the country’s course. Please do not mix politics with the legal profession,\u201d he advised. \u201cWe do not want any opposition within the Bar Association like politicians in the government and some in the opposition.\u201d<\/p>\n

He urged the candidates, in the event they are elected, to audit the academic qualifications of all practicing lawyers to ensure only qualified competent persons serve the public.<\/p>\n

Sheikh Juma Saeed, the representative of Muslims at a ceremony, expressed his great happiness at the success of the coalition\u2019s campaign, stressing that the coalition will win in the upcoming elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am grateful to attend such a program and I would like to stress the word \u201calliance\u201d because this is a very powerful word that is scaring people around the world,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Dr. Barnabas Corneo, the representative of the Faculty of Law at the University of Juba, called on lawyers to uphold the good reputation of the legal profession.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want state institutions to appear as the lawyers have appeared today because it confirms that the legal profession is a profession of humanity,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
