Eastern Equatoria state Governor Louis Lobong speaks at an event in
Torit, March 2, 2012 (ST/Ijjo Bosco)
Louis Lobong, in his speech at Monday, appealed to civil servants in
the state not to lose hope in the wake of the current economic
difficulties in the young country.
He urged lawmakers in the state to be productive during the fourth
session of the assembly, and ensure that government plans and policies
concerning their constituents are well deliberated.
South Sudan is currently facing tough economic times after government
initiated austerity measures to fill the huge gap created by the oil
shut down last year.
However, Lobong appealed to citizens in his state to unite with each
other and ensure the forthcoming independence occasion, ends with
success all over the state.
The young nation, will on 9 July, commemorate its independence
anniversary, two years after it seceded from Sudan as part of the 2005
peace deal.
The governor, at the occasion, cited security, education and health as
his main priorities, calling upon the state lawmakers to join hands in
efforts to implement them.
Meanwhile, the speaker of the state assembly urged the youth not to be
divided youth of the state not to be misled by “hungry” politicians in
the state.
Emmanuel Ambrose Ocholimoi was reacting after a youth conference
organised in the state last week ended in controversy and a boycott
over the formation of its executive body.
