GoSS authorities seek to reaffirm commitments from international organizations and governments in order to fulfil pledges to assist the referendum process.
GoSS director for Multilateral Relations, Joshua Franco Maya, told SCR News today that his ministry would soon engage CPA stakeholder and international partners to confirm practical ways to support the referendum on self-determination for South Sudan.Mr. Maya mentioned that the printing of ballot papers, transport and communications were among the areas the government needed support together with cash.
Mr. Maya urged international partners including NGOs, the UN, AU and IGAD, to provide materials needed to make the January referendum a success.
He said that his government would press hard to ensure that the promises made by international partners were fulfilled.
CPA grantors and other stakeholders are yet to fulfil their pledges in time to support the referendum three months away.
