The Caretaker Council of Ministers of Central Equatoria State has approved, with amendments, a finance ministry memo on the 2026 Operations License Regulations, in a move aimed at strengthening state revenue and improving governance.
The decision was made during the Council’s Ordinary Sitting No. 002/2026, chaired by Caretaker Governor Gen. Augustino Jadalla at the Council of Ministers’ Meeting Hall.
The approved memo concerns the Central Equatoria State Operations License Regulations 2026 for the Directorate of Trade and Industry.
The Council also deliberated on a separate memo regarding the centralisation of land lease and contract management.
Following deliberations, the Council tasked the Caretaker Minister of Finance, Planning and Investment with operationalising the amended memo.
The two proposals are considered important for strengthening the state’s revenue collection and improving the management of government operations.
The Council also reviewed the minutes of its previous sitting, received communication from the chair and discussed a security briefing presented by the Caretaker Minister of State for Local Government and Law Enforcement.
According to the security report, the general security situation across Central Equatoria State remains calm and normal, despite isolated incidents.
The Council’s latest decisions come as the state government considers measures to improve revenue generation, administrative efficiency and the management of public resources.
