The communiqué of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development or IGAD did not direct South Sudan to revoke the 28 states, denies government spokesperson.
Michael Makuei Lueth accused journalists of ‘misinterpreting’ the IGAD communiqu√©, Radio Bakhita reports.
He argues that the communiqué was calling on the government to suspend further action on the implementation of the 28 states.
The transitional government of national unity will be formed at any time, says the government spokesperson.
The minister made the remarks after an extraordinary meeting of the Council of Ministers in Juba on Wednesday.
