2975: "No Overlap": Minister Lasuba Wongo Defends Mandate of New Ad-hoc Committee

Deputy Chairperson of South Sudan’s High-Level Ad Hoc Committee on the Implementation of the Revitalised Peace Agreement, Lasuba Loduru Wongo, outlines the mandate of the newly formed body.In an exclusive interview with Radio Miraya's Moyo Jacob Felix, Wongo says the ad hoc committee does not duplicate the roles of existing institutions such as the National Transitional Committee. He emphasizes that the committee is not tasked with overseeing the country’s critical security sector reforms, a responsibility handled by other mechanisms. But with such limitations, how effective can the committee be in fulfilling its role?  His party the SPLM-IO is embroiled in disputes that have caused fractures and factions, how then does he justify his appointment as deputy chairperson of this body? Aired: 12 June 2025
