A member of the opposition groups, Lam Akol Ajawin, says they need a lean Transitional Government so that services are invested on repatriation of refugees, resettlement of IDPs and other developmental activities.
 
Opposition parties do not stand for positions, but want the parliament that can deliver services to people, he notes.

He adds that there is progress in many areas of discussion despite few difficulties.
 
All stakeholders are on today resuming discussions on disagreed issues
