The leader of the National Democratic Movement (NDM), Lam Akol, in a missive yesterday said President Salva Kiir has no power to appoint states’ governments.
Lam said that of the numerous powers of the President under Article 10, none is the appointment of state governments.
“First, is it within the powers of the President of the Republic to appoint sub-national Governments? Second, regardless of who has the power to appoint State-level Governments, what is the justification for denying one State its right to get its government like the rest of the states? In my humble opinion, the President of the Republic has no power to appoint the States’ Governments. Of the numerous powers of the President under Article 101(they are 20) none is the appointment of State Governments,” Lam wrote.
