President Salva Kiir will soon announce newly appointed members of the Transitional Parliament submitted by the SPLM-IO and other parties, the Minister of Information has said.
In April, the First Vice President, Dr Riek Machar, withdrew the list of MPs he had submitted to the President.
This, according to the Minister of Information, contributed to the delay in the establishment of the Transitional National Legislative Assembly.
Michael Makuei says the SPLM-IO has recently submitted a new list of 50 MPs to be appointed in the reconstituted parliament.
“His Excellency the President will cancel definitely the first order and issue a new order appointing all these people to the transitional legislative assembly,” Mr Makuei said.
He said other political parties have also submitted their list to President Kiir.
