The Executive Director of Women with Impairment Organization in Eastern Equatoria State, Laduma Patricia Igan, criticized the Presidency for ruling without following the constitution. She highlighted this issue during a two-day dissemination event of the permanent constitutional making Act 2022 in Torit, organized by Support Peace Initiative Development Organization (SPIDO) with funding from UNDP.
Igan noted that the country has been functioning under a transitional constitution since 2005, leading to the suffering of citizens due to non-compliance by the leadership. South Sudan’s permanent constitution aims to uphold principles such as the supremacy of the people, good governance, human rights, and gender equality.
SPIDO official Wodan Saviour Lazarous emphasized the importance of political will from top leaders to finalize the process of a permanent constitution. Torit Mayor Mustaffa Albino Zacharia stressed the need for wider awareness about the constitution among the population to avoid confusion.
The dissemination received positive feedback from participants like Joseph Kabaka Atiol, highlighting the significance of citizen involvement in shaping the country’s destiny.
