Torit Catholic Diocese Vicar General in his opening prayer at the first session of the three-year term of Eastern Equatoria State Parliament in Torit on Monday, cautions State Members of Parliament to work for peace so as to have their names in the book of God.
Fr Arkangelo Lokoro says the MPs went on recess to meet rural communities in the same way Jesus sent the 72 disciples to destroy evil powers, Radio Emmanuel reported.
The Vicar General acknowledges the work of lawmakers during the recess, pointing out that they would be remembered from a generation to another by their deeds.
State Parliament Speaker Tobiolo Alberio Oromo reveals a plan to expose legislators who failed to reach their constituencies during the recess period.
He demands every lawmaker to present a report from their respective constituencies as a proof of their mandate to consult the people in recess time.
