Relevance, impacts and Suggestions for the MPs botycotts of recently presented FY2024/2025 budget
===========≠==========================
In recent developments within the South Sudan Parliament, as per the link In line: https://www.radiotamazuj.org/en/news/article/boycott-as-2024-25-budget-is-tabled-in-parliament, some Members of Parliament (MPs) staged a boycott by walking out during the deliberations of the FY 2024/2025 budget. This act of protest has significant relevance and impacts worth analyzing.

The relevance of this boycott stems from the ongoing tensions surrounding governance and accountability in South Sudan. The budget is a critical component for the country's development, and MPs decision to walk out indicates their dissatisfaction with budgetary allocations or legislative processes. It highlights larger issues of representation and the need for transparency in governmental operations.

The impacts of such a boycott can be multifaceted. Primarily, it disrupts the legislative process, potentially delaying crucial decisions that affect public service delivery and development projects.

Additionally, it can undermine public confidence in the government, as citizens who are already in dire need of their arrears in salaries, claims to be cleared hang in suspense between dissatisfied MPs and Minister trying all he can to make some efforts of availing real service delivery to the needy and vulnerable population.Citizens may interpret the walkout as a sign of disunity or inefficacy among their representatives. Furthermore, international observers may view this action as indicative of deeper governance issues, which could affect foreign aid and investment.

To address the factors leading to such boycotts and enhance the parliamentary process, several suggestions can be made. First, fostering an inclusive dialogue, engagement with civil society and MPs could help resolve disputes and improve cooperation.

Second, implementing transparent budgetary processes with stakeholder engagement can build trust and legitimacy and mitigate the risk of next walk out of MPs in the future Budget deliberation comes FY2025/2026 Budget.

Lastly, MPs could agree to pass the budget conditionally, requiring the government to provide a detailed expenditure Report for the previous budget within a specified timeframe. This would allow the new budget to proceed while holding the government accountable for past spending. Training and capacity-building program for MPs on budgeting and legislative procedures might empower them to participate more effectively in future deliberations.

By adopting one or more of these compromises, the South Sudanese Parliament could move forward with the FY 2024/2025 budget while addressing the accountability issues stemming from the previous budget. This approach would help maintain governance continuity and public trust in the government's financial management.

Overall, the recent boycott by South Sudan MPs signifies critical challenges within the country's political landscape, emphasizing the need for improved governance, transparency, and accountability to foster a more conducive environment for legislative processes.
