Minister of Federal Governance and Rural Development, Engineer Mohamed Kertikela Saleh, has announced that a review of the country’s governance structures is expected to take place, noting that plans are underway to convene a Governance and Administration Conference in the coming period to reach a consensus on all matters related to governance during the next stages.
According to the Sudan News Agency (SUNA), the minister noted that holding the Governance and Administration Conference is stipulated in the signed peace agreements, particularly the Juba Agreement for Peace in Sudan. The conference aims to establish a unified vision regarding the country’s governance structures, levels, and system.
He confirmed that Sudan’s current system of government is decentralized and federal. He further explained that although the 2005 Constitution has been repealed, the Federal Decentralized Governance Law remains in force.
He added that the system is based on three levels of government: the federal level, the regional and state levels, and the local level.
