Parties to the Revitalized Peace Agreement should reach people at the grassroots to disseminate information on the implementation of the deal, says Oryema Emmanuel, Executive director for Eastern Vision organization,.

He says parties involved in the agreement should do what is required in the deal in order to prepare people for upcoming elections.

“Now the parties are even muted, they are not willing to come to the media and talk to the public to know what is their interest, people need to know the information regarding the RTGoNU, how it is moving at all the levels of government, we have to tell our public they should know what is happening within our government. The agreement lifetime is thirty-six months, do what the agreement requires to prepare people to go for elections and when you do best within this transitional period, you are selling yourself for the coming government which will be the government of the people because this is the government of the parties, so if you do well, we can see that this person is able and is capable”, Oryema explains.

SPLM-IO Youth League Chairperson, Khamis Simon, mobility and lack of resources are hindering movement of the parties to the grassroots and that challenges are due to resources mismanagement.

“We from the state, as per the agreement we are to tell the people, partners for peace to go to the counties, to the Payams, Bomas and tell the people we made an agreement and what is within the agreement. We tried even here in the state to reach the people at the County but there was problem of mobility, problems of resources, we encountered challenges in many things because, in chapter four of the revitalized peace agreement which is on the resource management is not handle the way it is written”, he notes.

The speakers made their remarks to Radio Emmanuel during a talk show on the implementation of the peace agreement with youth from different political parties.
