President Salva Kiir Mayardit has donated 10 million dollars to flood affected States of South Sudan on Friday during the closing of the 6th Governors Forum in Juba.
The president officiated the closing session of the Sixth Governor’s Forum which brought together government leaders from the ten States and three Administrative Areas.
President Kiir directed the Ministry of Finance and Planning to allocate 10 million US
dollars to flood affected areas in South Sudan as the government’s effort to help States grappling with flooding.
He appeals to development partners to join government efforts in rescuing vulnerable communities affected by disasters to deliberate on critical national issues ranging from peace, security, development and humanitarian challenges.
He therefore, directed the State Governors to prioritize addressing sub-national conflicts including communal violence and land disputes in their respective states.
“I am calling upon the Governors and the Chief Administrators with support of the
national organs to come up with ways to call off this unending communal violence, for example, what is happening between the communities of Twic and Ngok Dinka of Abyei areas” President Kiir reiterated.
The Governor’s Forum is an annual conference which brings together all levels of government to discuss issues of national importance and draw resolutions aimed at addressing challenges facing peace and development in South Sudan.
