The minister of Justice urged MPs to approve enough money in the 2013-2014 budget to enable the National Elections Commission to do its work.
John Luk Jok was in at the National Legislative Assembly to take part in the third reading of the Petroleum Revenue Management Bill 2012 on Wednesday.
He told MPs that the National Elections Commission needed money to set up its offices and prepare the elections of two Governors dismissed by the President of the Republic and County commissioners, and to fill vacancies in national and state parliaments.
Mr Luk cited that the National Election Commission did not organize the election for a new Lakes State Governor because it did not have the money necessary to conduct the exercise.
These comments came during the discussion on how to use the three percent from oil revenue that the Transitional Constitution allocates to the producing communities.
