A Catholic Church parliamentarian says Equatoria must select a person of integrity, principles and bravery to face the executives with serious eyes as a speaker of the National Legislative Assembly.
 
Isaac Kungur Kenyi says Equatoria wants a speaker who can tell the executives that the legislature oversees them not otherwise.
 
The church parliamentarian advises that a person from the Equatoria region occupying the position of the speaker must not be worshipping the executive or judiciary.
 
Parliamentarian Kungur believes the return of First Vice President, Dr Riek Machar is the beginning of political, social and economic reforms in South Sudan as stipulated in August 2015 peace agreement.
 
He says the disagreement on the 28 states shall be resolved by the provisions in August 2015 peace deal regardless of what people feel about it.
 
The agreement recognizes ten states.
 
Parliamentarian Kungur says the agreement overrules President Salva Kiir’s October 2015 Establishment Order of 28 states.
 
Another disagreement on the peace implementation is the cantonment sites in Equatoria and Bahr El-Ghazal regions.
 
Before return to Juba, Dr Machar had stated in Pagak that the SPLM/A-In-Opposition will sort out its differences with the government on the ground.
