JUBA, MAY 11, 2023 (SUDANS POST) – South Sudanese lawmakers have summoned at least four senior government officials to explain the worsening economic situation and the dominance of the market by foreigners, according to a lawmaker.

John Agany,  chairperson of the parliamentary committee for information and communication, said the lawmakers made the decision to summon ministers of trade & industry, investment, finance, and labour during a parliamentary sitting on Wednesday.

“Yesterday, the August House deliberated on a Motion of Public Importance, and we decided to summon those ministers because we want to understand from them the reasons why there is an unending economic crisis,” he said.

“They will also have to answer as to why the market is being dominated by foreigners. Our citizens needs jobs, but the foreigners are the one who are now controlling the market, even the works that should be done by our own citizens,” he added.

    Ask them why all the contracts including NGOs, Government and UN contracts are given to Foreigners who only invest and take the profit outside the country.

    we need to act now or else, we are going to loose this Country.

    Individual and tribal’s interests are destroying this Country.
    Corrupt individuals should be in prisons, however, they are relieved today and stay in their houses, after six month they will be reappointed to the same or different positions, this is a sad thing, it is only encouraging a criminal to precede the previous criminality, this is a shame to a nation with so much resources, land for agriculture, fuel that only needs to be refined, and so many but still we show ourselves to the world as international beggers, begging for humanitarian reliefs that destroy the dignity of the people.
    it is so sad that almigty creator blessed us with so much but denied us brain to utilize them.

    Dear law makers,
    Make sure that the MoL answers the questions regarding the dominance of job market by foreigners to your fullest satisfaction.
    Of my bigger interest in this issue is why many NGOs positions are filled by expats whose qualifications are available in-country and the MoL is the facilitator of this ill-practice through its issuance of work permits that brings to the Ministry annual renewal fees. I once debated with myself and suggested that it would make the best trade-off between the MoL and the citizens to add the fees the MoL collects through work permit to the Pit payable by citizens so that we secure our jobs that lose to the so-called exapts who are looting the citizens of their opportunities.
