The Chairperson of The Elders group has called on President Kiir on Friday in Juba to provide services to the people in order to see dividends of independence.
Archbishop Desmond Tutu told journalists at a news conference after the Elders’ meeting with President Kiir that people can run out of patience if they do not see the benefit of being independent.He said people in South Sudan expect good schools, proper health care, good housing, jobs and electricity.
Archbishop Tutu added that if these expectations are not met within a reasonable period of time it will be a recipe for unrest and all the gustily things that are uncalled for.
Archbishop Tutu said South Sudanese President should be aware about the people’s expectations and that many were hoping to see material change in their set up.
He added those expectations for change are justifiable and natural.
The Elders are group of global leaders formed by Nelson Mandela, who use their collective experience to promote peace, justice and human rights worldwide.
A delegation of three members led by Archshop arrived in Juba and met president Kiir, they will travel to Batil refugee camp in Upper Nile State to see thousands Sudanese refugees suffering.
