    South Sudan desreve good governance, good government is a governing body that equalize all citizens. Women deserve to play role in any government positions. Kiir and his peers in the government have done good thing that every one can acknowledge. With exception of last general elections, I think Kiir is a good leader some how if not all the time. I also velue the question raised by "Yay Marach" about youth incorporation to the new government, Youth deserve representation too, is a good question.

    Evey human being posssses an ability to work but you the women should not thank Mr. President for your appointment but you have to state clearly and define what you can do to your Country and your people. We do not need you to mess up with public funds and make friendship with those big fishes in that ocean in the act of bribing them to defend your position. We want to see into it that you can prove the sense of motherhood like other women around the world by providing adequate services down to the needy ones who sent you there and this can be our pride.

    Prove the way you divided food among the family of ten people of which most of you have undergone during the war.

  Indeed, South Sudan government system is rushing to meet the world system of equity and equality in the government gender representation whereas the North Arabs’ government in its hundred years of ruling has never provided such requirements. This indeed reflects the big longing for the southerners to be given their separate leadership this time so that such important system should be introduced in the country.

  Besides all this nominations of women to the ministerial posts at this tough and rough time because of the predicted effects of the referendum that may or may not put the country back to war. The question is, are these women ready to serve in war when unexpected site of the CPA happen?

  I support the nominations and the participations of women in South Sudan politics and all affairs but prefer better after the referendum.

  Thank GoSS and Kiir Mayardit for such important nominations.

    Mr Kuer Dau the ignorant;

    What do you know about Muslim women who rebelled against the nephew of Muhammad,Ali ibn Abu Talib?? and how you dare to compare the South Sudanese women who emerged very recently from the colonial and tribal slavery,including my own mother, to the modern women of the western world !? I lived in europe,USA and Canada but non of their women are wiser and more responsiple than ours in Africa...Please,stop hurting our feelings,african women are the only ones, who still preserves the genuine attitude of feminie partnership in the family accord worldwide.

    But if you hate Muslims or Islam,this board is not for that.ok?! we do support the freedom of faith regadless of the origeon of the dominions. But remember that i and the rest of the freedom fighters will not tolerate your passive comments,that are based on religious or faith grounds,because they are not human and against the aspiration of the people of SouthernSudan.

  The women of South Sudan have made a significant contribution in the struggle of our people. Therefore, they deserve everything that South Sudan can offer to her children. Thank you to our women. Your unrelentless support to the SPLA has made it possible for our soldiers to stand firm and fight for our freedom. God Bless you.

  Well, it is good to have women in the government but we also have to be careful in selecting them. The women have the same right like any citizens but they must be competent enough for job. They should not just be appointed base on gender-line, they must possessed some qualities and abilities competent enough for the job.I know women are good leaders, but our women need a lot more then what it is. Those appointed ministers deserve their position, no one have a problem with them. But the gender-line should not be used by women to get positions in government while they do not have the qualification to do the job. If we take education less value we will never make any changes in South Sudan, because I can see people with little education get good job then those with higher education which is not good at all.

God bless their works and i know fews of them are making development as women thinking always of development then we guys men .

      Hey Matot, I thing mr Kiir did not choose those ladies on his own, he probably knows them very well or through other colleagues.There is no way he would put them in the positions if they were not capable enough. I do not know what it takes to be a minister in South Sudan is it Education, Experience or personality? Most of us tend to look down on women as being uneducated and less qualified. But if we have to be very honest, it is not every Minister or MP in South Sudan that is educated/Qualified. There are just a handfull educated/qualified Ministers/mps. The trouble is, I can’t see any one working for the country, most people care only for themselves. Our country is vulnerable and needs transparency, honesty, self sacrifice. The question is, do we have people with those qaulities? For those not lucky to have been chosen, let’s give the lucky ones a chance and see what they can do and if it comes to your turn to serve the country you will show us what you’ve got. Congratulations to those beautiful ladies we are behind you any time you need our support, but not only during elections.

  What President Salva Kiir doing was just accommodating some women who are just wasting Southern Sudan money as they are using it to built their big houses and render outside the coutry. if President was trying to make women to be fully participate in decisions like other mens, he should not multiply the same people in the same ministry like the ministry of Labour and Public service of Madam Awout Achiel.

  I think the choice of President to name those women as ministers was just flashing posts.

  Thanks to president Salva Kiir by putting much consideration on women of southern sudan.I know their[women] participation in war under the leadership of late Dr John Garang De-mabior.now they need to participate again in the current government educationally,because 25% now 30% can not be given to illitrated women.the big problem now in southern sudan,girls are reserved for marry,not for schools.please mr president make a change for women inorder to let them have their 25% to 30% of their share in the government.

    It’s high time now for Southerners to look ahead and put behind all that stuff. Better seek the appropriate name for our eminent state. Whether it’s to be called Nueristan, Baritan, Dinkatan, Colloatan, Lotukan, Nilotan or remains as south Sudan, New Sudan, whatever you think, etc.

    I hope our leaders and all southerners think on this issue of identity.
