During the swearing-in ceremony, President Kiir emphasised the importance of discipline, teamwork, and respect for the country’s established laws, charging the newly appointed official with the responsibility of helping improve the ministry’s operations.
“The President also linked the appointment to the government’s policy of equitable distribution of opportunities among South Sudanese communities, welcoming Dr. Moua’s inclusion in the country’s public service leadership,” the statement read.
