The Governor of the Bank of South Sudan, Hon. Johnny Ohisa Damian, on Tuesday spoke with staff participating in a sit-in action and reaffirmed his leadership’s commitment to staff welfare.

Hon. Ohisa said he was surprised by the sit-in strike following the recent payment of accumulated arrears two weeks ago.

“The country’s shortage of foreign currency has affected the settlement of the remaining incentives. Despite these challenges, the bank managed to secure the resources that covered the outstanding arrears on credit. And today, it is disappointing that this action comes shortly after significant efforts were made to clear accumulated arrears under challenging economic circumstances,” Governor Ohisa said.

Addressing the staff, Governor Ohisa said he believed the sit-in strike had been politically motivated.

“This strike was meant to destroy the institution and the country because it has been politically influenced to undermine the institution and the country. The strike comes at a time when the country is preparing to celebrate its independence, Governor Ohisa added.

Ohisa underscored that the Bank is putting forward measures to avert such a sit-in future.
