The opposition group Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-In-Opposition (SPLM-IO) has accused President Salva Kiir of disregarding its nomination, failing to approve the appointment of a new deputy minister of interior.
As part of the 2018 peace deal, SPLM-IO was allocated nine cabinet posts and three deputies.
Mabior Garang, eldest son of late John Garang de Mabior, founder of the South Sudanese ruling party, the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement (SPLM), was first appointed as deputy minister of interior on the SPLM-IO ticket in March 2020, but later resigned from the position.
Pouk Both Baluang, SPLM-IO director of information, told Radio Tamazuj Wednesday the president did not appoint a new nominee for the position of deputy minister of interior forwarded by the SPLM leadership.
