South Sudan: Senior Personnel Changes in the Finance Sector

The Sudd Institute published on 17 January 2017 an analysis titled "The Recent Change of Guards at the Ministry of Finance and Bank of South Sudan" by Augustino Ting Mayai.

South Sudan has changed its senior leadership in the Ministry of Finance and Bank of South Sudan. The author says the changes are welcome in that fiscal accountability was nearly nonexistent. The author adds that if the new officials rely on professional ethics, conviction to do the right thing, and intrinsic motivation, there could be substantial reforms.
