South Sudan will settle her $27.8 estimated arrears owed to the East Africa Community (EAC) plus $8 million for the 2019/2020 financial year.
Recently the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA) passed a resolution for South Sudan and Burundi’s removal from the regional body for failure to remit annual contributions. South Sudan has not paid for almost three years.
The Undersecretary for Ministry of East Africa Affairs, Mou Mou Athian Kuol revealed to Radio Miraya that the country has presented a payment plan to clear the arrears.
He said that South Sudan will clear the arrears in two instalments starting with the 2019/2020 annual payment.
