Imotong Constituency Member of Parliament or MP in Ikwoto County of Eastern Equatoria State assembly vowed not to compete for second term seat in the next legislative elections for the sake of engaging his community in agriculture.
State assembly Chief Whip Tobiolo Alberio Oromo told the press that he now gives opportunity for others to contest for the seat as he opts to mobilise local community for self-reliance and farming, Emmanuel Radio reported.
He lamented that constant food shortage in South Sudan requires community mobilization for farming to rescue the nation from famine.
The legislator cites availability of fertile land in Ikwoto County and lack of influential figures driving locals to utilize it for national benefit.
MP Alberio said he would continue to support his political party.
The MP reminded aspiring candidates to start preparation for elections now because he is not ready to fund anybody.
The Legislator encourages young people to join the political race to secure the parliamentary seat.
