Information minister clarifies on Republican Order No.03/2013 JUBA, 16 April 2013 - The minister of Information and Information Dr. Barnaba Marial Benjamin has clarified the misconception of the Republican Order N0. 03/2013 issued yesterday by the President of the Republic H.E Salva Kiir Mayardit withdrawing all the duly delegated powers assigned to the Vice President by the President of the Republic.
“In the Transitional Constitution of the Republic of South Sudan, there are responsibilities and duties of the President as well as responsibilities and duties of the Vice President. What happens at times is that the President delegates to the Vice President some of his responsibilities and duties for a certain period of time. In the same way, the President can issue a decree to withdraw these responsibilities,” clarified Dr. Benjamin. He added that Dr. Riek Machar is still the Vice President of the Republic of South Sudan and has all his powers as stipulated in the Transitional Constitution. “The Vice President of the Republic shall be restricted to exercise and discharge only his powers as stipulated in accordance with the provisions of Article 105 (a), (b) and (c) of the Transitional Constitution of the Republic of South Sudan, 2011A.D,” read the Order in part. The Order took effect on April 15, 2013. Reported By Matata Safi -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
