South Sudan lawmakers proposed on Wednesday that the country’s oil production be halted due to what they described as “inappropriate financial assistance” given to Sudan. During deliberation on the 2016/2017 financial budget, lawmakers on South Sudan’s Parliamentary Committee for Finance said Khartoum takes the chunk of the revenue from oil and Juba must re-consider continued production.
