The office of the President on Wednesday launched a presidential website for the first time since independence in an event graced by President Salva Kiir Mayardit.

The www.op.gov.ss presidential website is aimed at improving public access to government information and strengthening communication between the presidency and citizens.

According to the Office of the President Press Unit, the platform will provide timely updates on government activities, national policies, presidential engagements, speeches, and official announcements.

Speaking during the launch in Juba, President Kiir said the website is an important step toward promoting transparency, accountability, and public awareness through modern communication tools.

“The platform will help citizens access official information and counter misinformation,” Kiir adds.

The government also announced plans to establish an Official Government Gazette to publish laws, regulations, and official notices.

The committee that developed the platform thanked President Kiir for entrusting them with the initiative, describing it as part of the government’s efforts toward digital transformation and improved service delivery.

Officials said the launch marks a new chapter in modernizing government communication and strengthening engagement between the presidency and the public.
