H.E. Salva Kiir, first Vice president of the Government of National Unity, President of Government of South Sudan and Commander in chief of SPLM/A. We the youth, of Lakes State and South Sudan at large have highly welcome you to Lakes State especial the floods affected areas. The uncontrollable floods have actually destroyed our state economy, like now the market prices they have gone higher due to the floods which covered all roads of a state blocking commercial trucks to bring goods.

Otherwise, Yirol Oyee!!! Lakes State Oyee!!!, South Sudan Oyee!!!, Kiir Oyee!!!, SPLM/A and GOSS Oyee!!!.
Thank you very much,
Yirol boy

HE.Lt.General Kiir Mayardit! On behave of Yirol Youth Association YYA, You are highly welcome to Lakes State and espcially the most politically marginalized communities of Yirol Counties Awerial, Yirol West and Yirol East in Lakes State.
Our President! Though your main objective of visit is targeting flood affected areas we the youths of Yirol are fully commited for SPLM and stand still we are here and there for SPLM. There are some few problems facing us.
– Youths employment in Lakes State
– Scholarships for Lakes State
– MPs in the State Assemble
– 25% of Women in to Politics
– Youths employment in the Lakes State
Employment oppurtunities in the state are corrupted by some individuals employing un qualify staffs in their related Ministries. Regarding that Youths from Yirol despite the distant, though some of them are qualified they are not given a chance to serve the GOSS and the SPLM in the Lakes State
– Scholarships for further Studies
Only youths from other counties within Lakes State have access for scholarships for high schools and universities both within Sudan and East Africa exluding youths of Yirol out.Some of this guys are in Daystar Univeristy in Nairobi.
– MPs in the State Assembly
Some communities are not represented though vast in population and land. Like Apaak Community in Yirol West County constitute two Payams Aluakluak and Geer respectively doesn’t have even a single MP in the State Assembly.
– 25% of Women into Politics
Our Presient! You have been talking about 25% of women into the governemnt. This percentage is only owned by some communities in Lakes State leaving the vast communities of Yirol Counties. How many ladies that are educated in Yirol and yet they don’t have access into government to occupy their share as stipulated by the CPA.
Our President! we have alot to say but these are the most urgent needs among the Yirol Youths Association to hear.
