The Center for Peace and Advocacy group (CPA) is deeply concerned about the increase in commodity prices citing high rate of US dollars against local currency.<\/p>\n

CPA’s executive director Ter Manyang Gatwech says the cost of living is unbearable for helpless people to survive and blamed weak leadership in addressing these challenges.<\/p>\n

The Activist is urging the Transitional National Legislative Assembly (TNLA) to spreads the questioning of the Minister of Finance and Bank Governor over the shocked economic crisis.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, National Assembly summoned the Minister of Finance and Bank Governor following the high rate of dollars that cause prices sky rocking in South Sudan.<\/p>\n

Gatwech adds that, lack of access to basic needs is leading to mental health problems among a majority of South Sudanese citizens. \u00a0He stresses that Citizens are struggling to afford basic necessities due to the rise in commodity prices.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor instance, $100 is now equivalent to 145,000 SSP, which is a negative indicator for the country’s economy. Leaders are seemingly ignoring the issues faced by citizens, \u201cSays the executive director.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ter states that South Sudan is the only country where public servants go without salaries and suggests the implementation of regulations for foreign traders by Bank iof south Sudan.<\/p>\n

He says South Sudanese government should support local businesses to promote stability, development, and peace in the country.<\/p>\n

CPA urges the International Labor Organization to hold the government accountable for failing to provide adequate wages and salaries to its citizens, unlike in other countries.<\/p>\n

According to CPA, since the signing of the R-ARCSS in February 2020, South Sudan has not seen significant improvements in the lives of its citizens.
