Yei Diocesan Catholic Bishop on Sunday appealed to leaders to use their authority to provide services to people but not to exaggerate the aspect of power.
Bishop Erkulano Lodu Tombe said every authority must have power, commending the former commissioner Juma David Augustine and Mayoress Oba Cecilia Tito, saying they have done their best to work for the community, Easter Radio reported.
Central Equatoria State government Minister Francis Gerard says they bring new leaders to receive blessings from the church to work in harmony, peaceful manner and cooperation because God fearing leaders offer good services to people.
The officials made the statement on Sunday at Christ the King cathedral.
