THE COMMITMENT
Progress must reach
every community.
Our state’s diversity is a strength. Public decisions should listen to communities, respect the rule of law and pursue equitable development across counties.
That requires cooperation among state institutions, county authorities, traditional and religious leaders, the national government, development partners and the people themselves.

ABOUT CHARLES

Leadership is
a responsibility to serve.
According to his Wikipedia biography, Charles Udwar Ukech is a South Sudanese politician associated with the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM). The biography records his appointment as Speaker of the Eastern Equatoria State Transitional Legislative Assembly in April 2024.
His previous public service includes legislative leadership in Eastern Equatoria and a role as Vice President of the South Sudan Football Association. Reporting by Radio Tamazuj covered his 2024 oath of office and stated commitment to open dialogue, inclusivity and accountability. UNMISS also quoted him on strengthening lawmakers’ ability to fulfil their responsibilities and support good governance.
