The national minority leader said the upcoming permanent Constitution should consecrate a federal parliamentary system as basis for running South Sudan.
Onyoti Odigo Nyikwec told reporters on Tuesday in Juba that a federal parliamentary system of governance would render leaders more accountable to the people and control corruption.He said South Sudan had a parliamentary system when the region was granted self rule in 1972, following the Addis Ababa Agreement.
Mr Odigo explained that the permanent Constitution needs to address and specify the limits and terms for the President of the Republic.
He said an elected president should resign political party membership in order to become the president of all South Sudanese.
The minority leader was speaking at the national parliament after MPs passed a law extending the mandate of the Constitutional Review Commission for another two years.
