Speaking to the media after the meeting, the Acting Secretary of the Committee and Minister of Public Service and Human Resource Development, Hon. Ezekiel Lol Gatkuoth, said the committee had also resolved to lift the existing limits on cash withdrawals and deposits in South Sudanese Pounds.

Minister Gatkuoth said taxpayers are now required to make tax payments in cash into SSRA bank accounts to help improve liquidity within the banking sector and address shortages affecting the Bank of South Sudan.

Despite the new directive, the committee reaffirmed its commitment to the ongoing digitalization of tax collection through Crawford Capital Pay, saying the initiative remains a key part of the government’s broader agenda to modernize revenue administration and promote digital transformation.

The committee further tasked Minister Ezekiel Lol Gatkuoth with leading a sub-committee to oversee the implementation of the resolutions.

The sub-committee will focus on the recapitalization of the Bank of South Sudan, strengthening the banking system, enhancing domestic revenue collection, and ensuring the timely payment of salaries for public servants
