The Bar Association applauds the step taken by the Chief Justice of South Sudan to enforce the Constitution on the use of English language in Courts in accordance with Article 6(2) of the Transitional Constitution of South Sudan, 2011 (As Amended).
This move has been overdue and it's finally here with the recent enactment of the East African Community Act, 2026 , a law domesticating the East African Community Treaty in the Republic of South Sudan.
All Advocates are hereby encouraged to abide by this order and adhere to the constitution as the grand norm as stipulated by our able Chief Justice in this Circular.
Barr. Yak Abednego Ajak
Secretary for Information & Spokesperson of the South Sudan Bar Association, Juba.
