A workshop facilitated by the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) provided an opportunity for 100 new parliamentarians of the Transitional State Legislative Assembly to benefit from an interactive workshop.<\/p>\n

The purpose of the workshop is to raise awareness, enhance their understanding of parliamentary process and enable them fully to contribute to shaping a peaceful, prosperous tomorrow for all communities.<\/p>\n

Facilitated by the UN Peacekeeping mission\u2019s Civil Affairs Division in partnership with the Community Empowerment for Progress Organization (CEPO) was the first-ever such forum and drew spirited participation.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been enlightening and thought provoking,\u201d said Apotho Ojullo Oketh, Jonglei parliament\u2019s Acting Speaker.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe went through the provisions of the Peace Agreement and are now clear on how all of us can pave the way for lasting peace and prosperity for future generations,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Before civil war broke out there were only 49 members of parliament in the Jonglei area. Ten of these 49 parliamentarians were dispersed after the Greater Pibor Administrative Area was created in 2014.<\/p>\n

After the 2018 signing of the peace agreement, which led to a decrease in violence and a transitional administration of national unity in 2018, 61 more members were added to the parliament.<\/p>\n

Many of these new members were not properly orientated to the political spectrum.<\/p>\n

UNMISS decided to organize such training activities in order to assist new parliamentarians in representing their constituents and brokering a lasting peace.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis workshop has definitely finetuned our approach to affairs of state,\u201d said Tuong Majok Deng, an MP from Fangak county.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a broad mandate when it comes to resolving challenges that community members face and upholding the rule of law. Coming together and sharing experiences makes the entire undertaking simpler,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

Mr. Deng\u2019s words are echoed by Hellena Akech Marial, an MP representing Twic East.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy experiences have taught me that no matter what political party we are affiliated with, we have a collective responsibility to foster social cohesion and not division. We must inculcate unity of purpose if we are to shape a brighter future for South Sudan,\u201d she stated passionately.<\/p>\n

We discussed the challenges as well as the best ways forward to accomplish our duties.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs members of the state assembly, we must be united among ourselves if we are to educate our constituents in a culture of peace. The notion of citizenship and a shared national identity must first be embraced by us and only then, can we expect the people we serve to emulate us,\u201d averred Buol Lual, an MP from Bor.<\/p>\n

Geetha Pusic, Head of UNMISS Field Office Jonglei assured parliamentarians that she will continue to facilitate productive exchanges.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis training is to build your abilities to effectively represent your constituents,\u201d said Ms. Pious. \u201cAs UNMISS, we will support you every step of the way as you move Jonglei towards progress and development.\u201d<\/p>\n
