Mathew Mayor, secretary general of South Sudan’s National Congress Party has criticized the push to bring South Sudan into the East African community.
Speaking to Sawt Al-Shab Arabic daily newspaper in Juba, Mayor said South Sudan joining to this organization will not solve the economic crisis in the country.
He accused some individuals that he didn’t mentioned of encouraging the joining to East African community without proper studies.
He added that South Sudan will lose out by joining this bloc, pointing out that the country is not producing and only consuming from these countries, besides its complete dependence on oil revenues.
Mayor called on the government to support the economy by increasing the production in the agriculture sector.
