Addressing congregants, Vice President Josephine Lagu emphasized the church\u2019s pivotal role in reconciliation and moral guidance. She praised the contributions of religion to social cohesion and reconciliation describing religion as a key pillar in promoting peace.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe church lays the moral and spiritual foundation for nation building, while the government upholds the rule of law,\u201d she stated, urging religious leaders to actively engage in promoting unity and peace across communities.<\/p>\n

Governor Mujung reiterated the role of peace, unity, and security as the cornerstone of his administration\u2019s agenda. \u201cUnity is paramount if we are to defend and develop our country. The Government of Central Equatoria State believes that through cooperation, we shall succeed together,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Governor Mujung also appealed to religious leaders to include unity, moral integrity, and civic responsibility in their sermons. \u201cReligious leaders must preach messages that inspire discipline and national unity. When our people uphold the law, peace and development follow,\u201d Mujung said.<\/p>\n

He further called for collaborative efforts in addressing insecurity across all communities especially in the capital Juba. he said, \u201cSecurity is a fundamental right of every citizen. For it to prevail, the public should work with security organs by reporting criminal activities. This is a shared responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n
