As such, the Interim Chairperson urged Joint Defence Board (JDB) to provide leadership in planning and coordination “in order to ensure expeditious and concurrent implementation of the cantonment and training of forces.” 
 Further, Ambassador Njoroge called on the DDR (Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration) Commission to immediately operationalize an action plan, which, he said, is vital to the cantonment process. 


Additionally, Ambassador Njoroge applauded the recent face-to-face meeting between His Excellency Salva Kiir and the leader of the SPLM/A-IO, Dr. Riek Machar, saying that such meetings are critical for the successful implementation of the Revitalized Peace Agreement.

“Their commitment to resolve the outstanding issues, either personally or by putting in place official mechanisms, is critical for the successful implementation in order to build trust and confidence among themselves and address the challenges facing implementation,” he said. 


“I must remind the Parties once again how short the time is, and that they must work closely together in order to accomplish the remaining critical pending Pre-Transitional tasks within the remaining two months,” 
he added.
