Lakes Members of Parliament in the National Legislative Assembly and Council of States are in Rumbek to intervene in the ongoing inter-ethnic violence that shook the state in the last few weeks.
Deputy Speaker of National Legislature Daniel Deng Monydit said MPs were in the state to enlighten the masses on the current crisis in the country and intervene to reconcile various ethnic groups killing each other, Good News Radio reported.
He said the MPs and other leaders in the State would join hands to directly meet citizens at grassroots to find out the root causes of their conflicts.
The Lawmaker expressed confidence that peace could be realized in Lakes state if all members of the community are committed fully to reconciliation.
