The National Parliament is questioning eleven cabinet ministers and the Commissioner General of the National Revenue Authority in a closed-door session today.

They include the Minister of Finance and Economic Planning, the Minister of Petroleum, the Minister of Mining, and the Minister of Agriculture and Food Security.

Others are; the Minister of Livestock and Fisheries, the Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation, and the Minister of Land, Housing, and Urban Development.

The Minister of Wildlife Conservation and Tourism, the Minister of Investment, and the Commissioner General of the South Sudan Revenue Authority were also summoned.

The sitting dubbed as “in camera” is to know what the ministers are doing to address the hunger situation in the country.

Speaking to reporters before the start of the sitting, the spokesperson of the Transitional National Legislative Assembly said the media and members of the public were not allowed to cover.

“The sitting of today is going to be in Camera and being in Camera means that even the public whom you always see in the gallery in today’s sitting are not going to be allowed in,”  Hon. Mori explained what he meant by an “in camera” sitting.

“Journalists are not going to be allowed in even our hall attendants whom you see always there inside, are not going to be out,” he said.

“Sitting in camera means it is only the honourable members of parliament to attend, full stop as that and this is constitutional and it is in the conduct of business it can be decided that we hold the sitting in camera.”
