South Sudan Civil Service Mobility Boost
By Morris Mabior Awikjokdit
The sustainability of any state or national development endeavor largely depends on the efficiency of the state machinery. The more effective and efficient the state machinery is, the more the public servants submerge themselves in the service of the national interest, to ensure that state resources are maximally utilized.
The attainment of such a standardized state machinery would be hard to come by without hard work, sacrifice and commitment to national duty. The motor vehicles given to the Warrap stat Civil Service will go a long way in facilitating the day-to-day needs of civil servants as well as their timely response in times of emergency. I appreciated the bold initiative taken by Warrap state Minister of Local Government and Law enforcement agencies Hon. Gen. Acuil Tito Madut by requesting number of pick- up Toyota land cruisers to run civil servant and safeguarding security emergency in the state. The move by the president of the Republic of South Sudan simply explains his already expressed ambition of ensuring that every individual in this country enjoys a decent standard of living. Following his presidential decree of releasing two months bonuses for the country armed forces and expecting to do the same category for the civil service at all level of governance.
And the sustainability of those achievements and the fulfillment of the aspirations of South Sudanese largely depend on the commitment, loyalty and ambitions of those at the helm of affairs and the Civil Service. Our civil servants should therefore become more ambitious and move forward with the demands of development.
Beneficiaries of the recently donated vehicles in Warrap state should therefore utilize the vehicles in the most efficient of manners, and ensure a timely and adequate maintenance to guarantee sustainability.
This will be the only way to reciprocate the president’s goodwill and humanitarian gesture. As South Sudanese, we are blessed with a leader whose utmost priority is to ensure equal development in all sectors of our society. Complementing his efforts to that effect is in the best interest of nation building of South Sudan.
As a matter of fact, all public servants should know that the country is running against time to meet its targets, and as such they should all come on board with equal commitment, dedication and hard work to ensure that we achieve the objectives of national development.
