Vice President Hussein Abdelbagi received the remains on behalf of H.E. President Salva Kiir Mayardit, who is currently out of the country.

The Vice President joined the family of the late Justice Ambrose Riiny Thiik, the leadership of the Judiciary of South Sudan, and members of the public in mourning a man he described as one of the pioneers who laid the foundation of the Judiciary in South Sudan.

He encouraged the bereaved family to remain strong during this difficult period and urged them to uphold and continue the late Chief Justice’s legacy of service, integrity, and dedication to justice.

QUOTE: “A nation that honours its culture honours its dignity. People who preserve their traditions preserve their soul. And a generation that forgets its heritage risks losing its direction. Let us therefore continue to celebrate our cultures not as barriers between us, but as bridges that connect us together as one South Sudanese family”.
