A Reconstituted Transitional National Legislative Assembly (R-TNLA) lawmaker has called for stricter accountability for cabinet ministers who fail to deliver on their promises.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Juol Nhomngek, an MP representing Lakes State at the R-TNLA from the SPLM-IO party, criticized ministers for presenting well-documented policies that never translate into action.<\/p>\n He accused them of failing to address the country’s economic woes.<\/p>\n “South Sudanese are suffering, but the government is silent,” Nhomngek said during a debate on an international labour convention report.<\/p>\n “We must ensure these ministers are disciplined, even the honourable members in this house,” he echoed.<\/p>\n Nhomngek argued that the citizens are the ones bearing the brunt of the economic crisis, not ministers or foreign workers.<\/p>\n “The country is its citizens, not just land,” the opposition lawmaker emphasized.<\/p>\n He urged the parliament speaker, Rt. Hon. Jemma Nunu Kumba to take action against underperforming ministers, accusing them of misleading the country with “political mess.”<\/p>\n Nhomngek also raised concerns about foreign non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and their impact on the economy.<\/p>\n He argued that their dominance and hard-currency salaries contributed to the weakening South Sudanese Pound.<\/p>\n James Hoth Mai, the minister of labor however defended the executive branch of government.<\/p>\n He said ministers are responsible for developing policies, but the responsibility for implementing those lies with everyone.<\/p>\n Mai emphasized the transitional nature of the government and the shared responsibility of all branches to achieve peace and stability.<\/p>\n The debate highlights the growing frustration among South Sudanese citizens over the country’s economic struggles.<\/p>\n MP Nhomngek’s call for accountability reflects a desire for better leadership and concrete action to address the nation’s challenges.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" By Bida Elly David A Reconstituted Transitional National Legislative Assembly (R-TNLA) lawmaker has called for stricter accountability for cabinet ministers who fail to deliver on their promises.
