President Salva Kiir of South Sudan has dismissed undersecretaries from the ministries of Foreign Affairs, Energy and Dams, and Health, appointing new replacements. Additionally, he has named technical advisors to various ministries, reflecting intentions to reconfigure the government’s structure.
On Friday evening, President Salva Kiir of South Sudan dismissed three undersecretaries from their respective ministries. The officials affected include John Samuel Bwogo from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Lam Tungwar from Energy and Dams, and Dr. Harriet Akello Pasquale from Health. The decree, which was broadcast by the state-owned South Sudan Broadcasting Cooperation (SSBC), did not provide any reasons for their termination.
In the same decree, President Kiir announced the appointments of new individuals to these positions. Agnes A. Osawa has been designated as the undersecretary for Foreign Affairs, Madu Acuil Mayuen will take over the Energy and Dams ministry, and Dr. Anin Ngot Mou will assume the role in Health. This restructuring aims to bring new leadership to these critical areas of governance.
Additionally, President Kiir appointed several technical advisors to various ministries. Daniel Awow Chuang has been assigned to the Ministry of Petroleum, Dr. Cosmas Pitia Kujo to the Mining sector, and Simon Kimon Ladu to Finance and Planning. These appointments reflect the government’s commitment to strengthening its administrative framework.
President Salva Kiir’s recent decision to replace three undersecretaries signals a shift in leadership within key ministries in South Sudan. By appointing new individuals to Foreign Affairs, Energy and Dams, and Health, along with various technical advisors, the administration aims to enhance governance and efficiency in these important sectors. The lack of reasons provided for the dismissals may raise questions about the decision-making process within the government.
