Hon. Jemma Nunu Kimba’s term comes to an end.<\/p>\n Speaker Nunu was elected over last year.<\/p>\n The regional parliamentary speakers are expected to land in Juba today, with the secretariat and clerks on the ground already, according to Parliament spokesperson, John Agany.<\/p>\n He said the forum will also discuss regional challenges, with a focus on South Sudan and how constraints will be remedied.<\/p>\n \u201cThey chose South Sudan because every year the speaker\u2019s forum is chaired by the president, Jemma Nunu Kumba now that her term has finished, they have decided to elect a new president of the forum,\u201d Agany said.<\/p>\n The forum is crucial as it will clear global doubts about South Sudan’s conflicting status in the region.<\/p>\n \u201cIn the political field, South Sudan remains with a very bad image that we have been people always making war against ourselves and we are very hostile,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n South Sudan’s image has been tarnished in the political field, and this forum will help South Sudan change this negative image, Agany stated.<\/p>\n The forum will also enable South Sudanese to realize the national peace that reigns in the region.<\/p>\n Last year, South Sudan hosted a regional parliamentary speakers’ forum in Juba, bringing together all heads of parliament from the IGAD region.<\/p>\n The meeting discussed regional challenges facing countries within the region and recommended solutions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Bida Elly David East African Parliamentary Bureau (EPB) is set to conduct a speakers’ parliamentary forum in Juba for the second time tomorrow.
