The Deputy Minister said South Sudan had benefited from the Kenya Technical Assistance Programme and the RSS/Inter-Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD) Capacity Enhancement Initiative in which Kenya was a critical contributor of skilled manpower alongside Uganda and Ethiopia. Hon Kwong was speaking yesterday morning at the Juba International Airport when he led a high-powered government delegation to bid farewell to 42 Civil Service Support Officers (CSSOs) who have completed their two-year tour of duty in South Sudan under the RSS/IGAD Project. He said a good number of the CSSOs were medical doctors and nurses who were attached to various government hospitals in the states, adding that they had done a good job there. Among those who accompanied the Minister to see off the CSSOs were the UNDP Country Director, Mr Balazs Hovarth, the Kenyan Ambassador in South Sudan, Mr Cleland Leshore, the Coordinator of the Kenya South Sudan Liaison Office, Mr Maurice Nyamunga and the Public Service Undersecretary, Mrs Angeth Acol de Dut.
