South Sudan state governors call for decentralisation

November 16, 2011 (JUBA) – Governors of the ten states in the Republic of South Sudan have called on the national government to fully and effectively implement a decentralised system of governance in the new country.

The call for a more federal system came on Tuesday during presentations to the First Governors Forum after South Sudan’s independence in July. The President South Sudan, Salva Kiir Mayardit, in his opening address to the forum in Juba on Monday reaffirmed his government’s policy of decentralising governance in South Sudan.

President Salva Kiir also urged the governors to discuss as a priority governance, economic development, conflict prevention and security as part of the South Sudan Development Plan for 2011.

In the presentations and deliberations in the National Assembly’s hall on Tuesday chaired by the Vice President, Riek Machar Teny, the governors spelt out the need for further decentralisation of the system, not only politically but also administratively.

Currently county commissioners are appointed by the state governors. However, the governors recommended that they be elected in the next elections so that they are more accountable to the people.

The forum also clarified that civil servants in South Sudan can work and be recruited from anywhere in the ten states irrespective of their states origin, depending on the need by a particular state to fill the gap of qualified civil servants in the state.

The governors also expressed concerns over insecurity in their states and the need to improve on food security, infrastructures, health and education, among others.

They also presented on the progress achieved by their respective states over the last year.

The forum is expected to deliberate on the fiscal aspect of decentralisation on Wednesday.

    The VP Dr. Riek Machar Teny seem to support the democracy system unfortunately, we have seen him defending the corruption governor from Warrap State when the people who elected Mrs. Nydeng Malek speak up against corruption and failure governor. President Salva Kiir Manyardit allude relocation of Warrap’s Capital to Kuacjok inner area to Wau,mean to take development to Gogrial side.Did you see sign

    Naked Dinka,

    Your sources is accurate and undisputable. These bunches of hooligans and thugs are talking nonsenses they never materialize and implement when they go back to their offices instead, they are condoning the theft and corruption. They have been promising decentralization of the government but Kiir himself as the head chief of these thieves engraved centralization in his books. Pathetic

    Let the revolutionary forces of South Sudan sweep them out of power as the only guarantee to better governance. Nothing will ever be done unless Kiir is ultimately removed from this presidency. A thief can not be trusted to prosecute and indict another thieves. Talk and promises after promises are not working and this is inexcusable folks. They must be shown an exit. Thieves n thieves!

    So what?? The fact that they just have two figures million is the indication that the scale of corruption in South Sudan is low compared to many third world countries. Thanks God, none of the mentioned individual has two figures billion as it is the case with the ruling elites in the north. I hope our elites will be satisfied with what they have now. Cont….

    ….Our government is making every effort to minimize the corruption to the lowest level. I hope also from the bottom of my heart that the families of our fallen heroes and heroines will not be forgotten. Also, our government needs to care for our wounded heroes and heroines. May almighty God bless our nation.

    Madina Tonj,

    You might be one of George Konger’s elites who always think about themselves. Historically, what make you think that Kuajok don’t deserve to be a capital of Warrap state? For your short analysis, let me tell you why Kuajok was chosen. Kuajok is in the center and a good place in term of infrastructure. Most Tonj politicians even Internet politicians such as you hate that idea.

    Simon Yel,

    Whom do you prefer your question to? It’s hard to tell who you respose his comment between me and Madina Tonj who always speaks about the gone case. When Warrap was selected as the State name there wasn’t any complain risen by anyone as to why George Kongor chose warrap instead of Tonj, Kuajok, Gogrial and Lonyaker.

    You are right to talk about the corrupt and failing governor Nyandeng but you seem to be unwise if you are still talking about the relocation of State HQTs to Kuajok, what do you think is wrong with Kuajok since it is inhabited by a peaceful community of Gogrial West who do find time to fight among themselves and the neighbors as well? Take that ideology out of your mind if you are wise enough!

    You are right Simon, this guy seems to be not knowing what he is actually talking about if your could track his mails, there has never been a time he talked of other different thing apart from relocation as if he was the only son of grater Tonj. He will on day die as he thinks day and night about relocation leaving Kuajok still a capital city of Warrap.

    Good sign, i hope this forum will bring about a changes that are being desparately missed, that is decentralisation of power and work. There are alot of professional and qualified staffs at low level of governments and villages which hardly have a say or impact on development. It’s a welcome moves i hope it will follows good policies of governaces and development strategic plan.

    Very Excellent! The Governors got to their senses. They are being thoughtful enough to earn my and I think most South Sudanese respect- thank you all so much. If we are to be a democracy, the power to govern at any level must come from the people. I hope the president does the same with governors. No one should have the ultimate authority to elect or fire any public official except the people.

    I do concurred with your comments 100 percent. The new leaders of the new country are doing their best during these difficult times. The families, fallen heroes, and the disables should not be forgotten. These are the people who made independence of south Sudan possible.
