Governor Bangasi Joseph Bakosoro arrived in Yambio, the state capital
on 21 July after attending the briefing by Kiir to all the ten state
governors and representatives of states on the current situation and
way the forward for the new country.
“President Kiir congratulated all the people of South Sudan for having
remained patience in the six years of the CPA [Comprehensive Peace
Agreement] interim period despite threats of the Khartoum government
and called for the unity of the people of South Sudan,” said Bakosoro.
He stated that the President had called upon all the states with
conflicts to settle their differences and unite for the development of
the new nation.
“The government will be formed based on qualifications, right people
in the right places according to Kiir,” said Bakosoro.
He added that according to the president more ministries will be
created in the states to enable the national government to deliver
appropriate funds to the states for implementation of their projects.
Bakosoro said the president denounced the import of goods and services
from neighbouring countries, calling upon all the food-producing
states to cultivate and produce more to feed other sisterly states.
“The president has blamed the former government for the interim period
system where all state budgets were made in Juba, giving conditions to
most ministries in the states that did not deliver to the citizens,”
he said.
The governor also pointed out that the issue of a federal system of
governance, which was not included in the constitution, will be
included in the permanent constitution of the country.
Kiir congratulated the Equatorians for standing firm with the Sudan
People’s Liberation Army during the struggle by supplying them with
food, among other things.
Bakosoro called upon the citizens of the state to focus on the
production of sorghum and maize in order to supply other states that
are currently facing drought.
