He first wants guarantees for workers and better representation on the board, according to Eyeradio.

Felix Edward Bali, a former South Sudanese MP, is calling for compulsory contributions to the National Social Insurance Fund (NSIF) to be suspended, reports Eyeradio. He believes payments should begin only once reliable registration and record-keeping systems, as well as clear administrative procedures, are in place.

Bali also wants workers’ contributions to be protected and the concerns of both employers and employees to be taken into account. Appearing on the Around South Sudan podcast, he said he had filed a parliamentary motion in June calling for the suspension of a circular instructing employers to make compulsory contributions.
